I'm a sucker for aromatherapy. From massage oils, to scented candles, to oil lamps, to reed diffusers - I've tried them all. This time around I'm using a new method, in the form of mist sprays.
Just recently, I received these bottles of bed and linen sprays from
Samyo Fragrances. The brand derives its name from '
samyo' - the Filipino term for '
aroma' or '
fragrance'.

| Samyo Bed and Linen Sprays. |
A fledgling business enterprise,
Samyo Fragrances aims to take advantage of the olfactory perception (
aka, sense of smell) to address an individual's specific need. Their
Xaplono line, for instance, aims to address sleeping problems and boost relaxation through aromatherapy.
At present, there are two variants available in the Xaplono line:
Harmony, a light, floral scent made from lavender and chamomile essences; and
Tranquility, an earthy, woody scent made from oils of sandalwood and vetiver.

| Tranquility. |
Used for centuries to enhance meditation, sandalwood is also a natural sleep remedy. Vetiver, on the other hand, helps relieve anxiety.
 |
| Harmony. |
Lavender, a very popular fragrance, has been named as one of the most useful essence for the relief of anxiety and stress. It's a great complement to chamomile, which calms the mind and induces a happy feeling.
These bed and linen sprays come in transparent plastic bottles with a fine-mist atomizer spray and a snug-fit protective cap. To use, simply spritz 3 or 4 times onto pillows or bed sheets before naptime or bedtime.

Both
Harmony and
Tranquility are fragrant, yet mildly-scented. The aroma is very natural - not the kind that could make you sneeze or cough at first whiff. It's gentle on kids' noses, too. In fact, my son loves the light and lulling scent of Harmony.

If you're thinking of trying these sprays, you can purchase them online via the
Samyo website. Or you can drop them a line on
Facebook or
Twitter. The
100mL bottle costs
Php 300, while
50mL bottles costs
Php 200 each. Both rates are
inclusive of delivery fee.

| Thank you, Samyo Fragrances! :) |
