BPAL Somnus and other medicinal scents

[devon]

.
Lately I've been applying BPAL's Somnus before I go to bed. I sleep better, but is it a placebo effect or actual-fax relaxation promoted by the scent?

http://www.bpal.org/topic/8015-somnus/

reviews from experienced sniffers suggest that it has:
lavender, for sure
soft florals like lilies?
something green and herbal
white rose?
jasmine?

Many, but not all, of the reviewers said that it improved their sleep in some fashion, whether they liked the way it smelled or not.

Has anyone else experienced positive effects from perfume?

I love lavender, and it always relaxes me, altho I'm not sure if it makes me sleepy -- probably relaxing makes it more likely I'll sleep. I think I tried Somnum, but what I swear by is TKO, which is lavender + vanilla? or something sweet, and it helps when I have migraines and insomnia (two reinforcing conditions, yay!). I just got a new bottle, which makes me a little nervous because it has a new label, two women boxing, not the old heart-with-daggers-in one. I hope she didn't jigger the formula.

if you do a google search for "BPAL TKO (or the name of any scent) reviews" one of the top two results will be for bpal.org, to take you to the page of reviews by people who have tried it. They are in date order, with the oldest ones first and the newest ones at the end. Skip to the newest ones and see if people think that the formula has been changed.
