I really like this stuff. I was tempted a while ago by lovely ladies in the forums and so made an order from iHerb. I'm always looking for new things to make me sleep better so I couldn't wait to try this.
The balm comes in a tin which is kinda hard to open - it doesn't twist off but pops off with difficulty, I'm yet to work out a way to get it off easily. I apply the balm to my wrists, feet, under my nose, my neck, my temples... literally anywhere, and not in that order (if I put any on my feet it's last!). It's easy to get enough on your finger to do this, and it massages in really easily.
The smell is... different. It's not overly lavender-y and it's definitely not overly bergamot. It IS however, a really nice combination of the lavender, bergamot, rosemary... everything. Every scent in this balm marries so perfectly together, and it really is quite relaxing.
I find that the balm doesn't send me off to the land of nod but it does help my brain to relax. A lot of the time it smears onto my pillow, and I can still smell it the next morning. It's a gorgeous product and I'll buy it again :-)
I have a lot of lavender scented balms and sprays to help us relax and sleep better. I’ve picked this due to the bergamot in it as I like mixing lavender with other scents sometimes, so we wouldn’t get to used to it or bored of it. I can barely smell the bergamot in this, but even the lavender scent is very faint too. The balm is too hard on room temperature, I prefer creamier balms, but this is just my personal preference. However due to it being on the harder side, it lasts ages, barely made a dent in it yet, however sides started rusting as it’s a metal container. I really won’t repurchase this, there are better ones out there.
