'This Works' pillow spray

I love this spray - and it works - but it's £16 😦
Anybody recommend something similar but less spendy?

I would call it 'This Smells Nice, but Not Sure it Works' Pillow Spray... Nice placebo if nothing else though.
When mine runs out I'd be tempted to mix up some lavender oil and whatever else is in it, and put it with some water in a spray.

I've got hundreds of these in miniature size in boxes with the little roll on pulse points thing aswell....Used to be laid out on pillow every night at turn back, in a hotel I stayed in lots with work.

I think any lavender type spray would do the job it is lovely though.

I really like this works too. However, The Cotswold Lavender slumber spray on Amazon at around £7 is a good alternative.

Nabootique · 28/07/2016 10:09

I've not used that one, although I have a friend who loves it. There is a pillow spray in Boots by Champneys that is a cheaper alternative. I have that one and also the pulse point balm from the same range.

I love the This Works one too, trying to save some of it as it's so expensive so also use this Boots one which seems to work too! Bargain :-)

Thanks, I'll go have a sniff around. I did wonder if it was just in my mind but when I use it I sleep really well 🙂

Wow, the reviews are good!

Problem is, I associate lavender with old lady Confused I presume it makes you smell like lavender... Also, if it's a mix of oils, doesn't it make your hair greasy?

midnightmoomoo · 28/07/2016 18:00

Avon do one, my SIL loves it. Not sure exactly what it's called though.

BestIsWest · 28/07/2016 19:04

I bought it for DM and she says she goes out like a light. Would be interested in a cheaper alternative for her though.

BeJayKayven · 28/07/2016 19:33

The lavender isn't the dominant scent (not to my nose anyway), it's in the background. The spray is so fine it just disappears so no greasy hair or marks on the pillows etc.

This was on QVC a couple of days ago. M&S do a lovely pillow spray that I prefer to the This Works.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 29/07/2016 17:17

i use this couple of drops on my beding no greasy marks, smells fresh and clean not old lady lavender, even DS2 (200 loves it. I dilute it in a spray bottle as aroom spray, the bottle lasts for ages.

CinderellaFant · 29/07/2016 17:24

Avon sleep pillow mist is fab

Elizabethtailored · 29/07/2016 20:20

It smells incredible. I have the candle too. Not sure it makes me sleep but feels like a lovely ritual putting it on sometimes. My baby was given a baby version of it too!!

cardoon · 30/07/2016 04:22

Do you just mix it with water to make the room spray StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes?

KenDoddsDadsDog · 30/07/2016 05:49

I love it , for the smell and the ritual if nothing else.
I used to use elemis oil in an electric burner before that . A bottle is £ but will last a lot longer than the spray.
Synthetic lavender is vile.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 30/07/2016 05:50

Ooh going to try that one StepAway

Heyheyheygoodbye · 30/07/2016 06:24

I had the L'Occitane one and when it ran out I bought some distilled water and essential oils and made my own Grin costs pennies and smells exactly the same!

ICanSeeForMiles · 30/07/2016 06:35

Anyone recommend one that isn't lavender? That's what put me off the idea of a pillow spray, I can't abide lavender.

Ntinyn · 30/07/2016 06:41

Another vote for the Avon one, I buy on Amazon subscribe and save

allegretto · 30/07/2016 07:32

It works? What does it do??

BestIsWest · 30/07/2016 08:16

Helps you sleep.

MargeryFenworthy · 30/07/2016 08:31

Gives me crazy dreams. I prefer Neom Destress Room Spray.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 30/07/2016 09:40

Do you just mix it with water to make the room spray StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes? yes a few drops in an old spray bottle and away I go.

hollinhurst84 · 30/07/2016 14:38

I burn a baby bath scented wax tart in a burner before bed. It's gorgeous! Or sometimes a baby lotion one
