Speaking of lavender....within the month I'm going to be offering a lavender essential oil product in a lotion base (soy and sesame seed oil lotion). It's called "DreamWeaver" and all you do is rub a small amount into your neck, shoulders, and small of your back. Then go to bed. It has ultra-high lavender EO content (as much as the lotion can hold!).
There's something magical about lavender essential oil applied directly to the body like that. It's amazingly relaxing to your muscles, calming to nerves, lowers heart rate, etc. My wife has restless leg issues and this is all it takes!
Finally, a pur-sleep product your partner can use!

I just got the samples today for the lavender lotion and it's fantastic. It's in a very nice, non-oily soy-sesame seed-avacodo seed oil lotion base and the only EO is real French lavender. It's the strongest lavender EO lotion I've tried.
On top of that, every true lavender EO lotion I've seen is, technically, not made with true lavender. It's made with a very small amount of a cheaper essential oil called by various names, primarily Lavadin (lavandula angustifolia), which is actually an aromatic evergreen shrub that is much larger than true lavender (check the labels!). Lavadin has a much less refined, camphor-type fragrance that is not as well rounded as traditional Lavender 40/42.
I put a little bit on three hours ago and I can still smell it.

I personally like the fragrance of crisp 20 dollar bills, haven't seen that mentioned yet. Oh well.

I have been using Spice some nights, Clear others. I should try mixing them. For those who may be interested, I have MCS and sarcoidosis, and these oils are great, giving me no issues!! Of course they shouldn't, having no fragrance chemicals.
Bret, in these days of profit being king, your customer service is a wonderful thing.

I am one of those super sensitive snoze's that have to be very careful. I don't use a full drop of anything and sometimes that is even to much. Sometimes what seems just right going to sleep wakes me up with a headache. Seems like I can even taste a scent! I am still searching for the right one for me and the right amount. Sadly I do love fragrance, I just have to be careful.

Boy, dieselgal, talk about being opposites! I need 10 drops of any of these EOs to even know they are in the line past about 30 minutes! And I add 5 drops each night to the existing pad!

I am struggling to fall asleep with my equipment on and since I started at the beginning of March I have only been able to fall asleep with it on 3 times. I ordered the pur-sleep and have only tried a few of the oils so far. Interestingly enough, the 3 times I fell asleep was with Rosa.
I must like the smell of roses

That's the same with me. If I only put on 5 or 6 drops, the aroma leaves very quickly. When I wake up (as I ususally do 4-5 times a night ) the aroma has left the building! I don't want to over do it (and since there are only about 100 drops per bottle) 10 drops would only last 10 days! Maybe, Bret needs to come out with the jumbo size bottles of EO for those of us who need to 'overdose' on it?

Jeff, you must be a mind-reader. It's still maybe 3 months out but I will be adding a 15ml size of the same oils. I'm with you and Chris on this one: I use 5+ drops a night (usually).

Bump and a question for those still using the pur=sleep...
Only bottle I haven't tried is the Rosa... Smelling it straight from the bottle, I'm not too keen on it (yes I'm aware thats not the proper procedure on smelling it) But in general I'm not a flowery type girl. Was curious if anyone has mixed the rosa with any of the others to come up with something good? Am interested in trying, just not blindly trying it.. Others I've been mixing and matching blindly.. some good, some not so good outcomes. But the rosa has me stumped. Any ideas anyone?

Hey Lyza,
I tried Rosa alone recently and it was very mild and very pleasant. Give it a shot....mixing scents is for the weak! lololol
