Tested for you: Pillow spray „Good Night“ from Farfalla
A pillow spray is supposed to help improve my sleep. Well, good night! But I’ve tried so many things to help me fall asleep and stay asleep. All with varying degrees of success, except for sleeping pills, of course. But who wants to keep taking them? That’s why I literally grasp at any straw. This one presented itself to me in the form of a pillow spray at a “sleep workshop” in the new Farfalla store in Munich. It’s the first one outside of Switzerland, by the way.
The Swiss family business can look back on 40 years of experience in aromatherapy. The wild mountain lavender for my pillow spray comes from the Cevennes in the south of France. The collaboration there with the “femmes des Cevennes” is Farfalla’s oldest aromatic plant project. The founders fell in love with the natural charm of this region over 40 years ago and with the people for whom “organic” is simply “logical”.
From the lavender field to the pillow spray
Early in the morning, the pickers swarm out to the high altitudes where the wild, rather inconspicuous mountain lavender grows and fill their huge cloths with lavender until they are full to bursting. The loads of cloth often have to be carried on the pickers’ heads for miles to where the small truck can drive. Harvesting mountain lavender is therefore arduous and extremely physically demanding.
Back to my pillow spray
“Good night – sleep well” contains a natural aroma blend of 100 percent pure natural essential oils such as – in addition to mountain lavender – vanilla extract, bergamot, orange and tonka bean, to name just the most important ones.“Let go of your thoughts, let go of the day and wrap yourself in the soothing arms of well-deserved relaxation,” says Farfalla. The aromatherapy with lavender oil is said to improve sleep and sleep quality like no other fragrance. Just right for me, who has trouble falling asleep and staying asleep.
Prof. Dr. Reinhard Saller, University of Zurich, says: “Individually significant advantages of aromatherapy are that patients can subjectively choose from a wider range of essential oils according to their experiences and preferences and thus find an appropriate essential oil for better sleep.”
I chose the lavender scent for my pillow spray in the Farfalla store. Subjectively, I didn’t like the pure Swiss stone pine oil straight away – I can’t even explain why – although I actually like woody, spicy notes.… weiterlesen

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
