If you know someone who enjoys lightly scented bed linens or finds the scent of lavender soothing, then you might want to consider Bed Bouquet packets by Secret Scentsations. These are scent-releasing packets that go under the fitted bed sheet, so they stay out of sight. I think this is a safe innovative way to use scented oils.
In addition to the Citrus and Linen Fresh varieties we tried, there are also Lavender & Vanilla and Jasmine & White Rose scents available. I chose Citrus and Linen Fresh because my husband prefers scents that are not too sweet or heavily floral. I thought that the Citrus scent was a little too sweet for my taste. My husband thought the Linen Fresh smelled a little like cleaning products, but I actually enjoyed it.
Using the Bed Bouquet packets are very simple once you have figured it out. It would have been helpful to have the simple instructions printed right on the back of the packets though. To use the Bed Bouquet packets, all you need to do is peel off the clear seal, which covers the scent-releasing holes, using the white tab at the bottom front of the packet. Then you peel off the paper backing which reveals the adhesive rectangle. Now you simply place the packet under your bed's fitted sheet with the adhesive side down, making sure the only layer on top of the Bed Bouquet packet is your fitted sheet.
Since neither my husband nor I like an overpowering scent, I decided to try placing the packet about two feet away from the end of the bed. For a more noticeable scent, you could certainly place the packet near the head of the bed. Once in place, the flat packet is not visible at all. There is no mess involved with using this product. I have not had any problems with oil seeping onto my bed sheets.
I have only used this product for about a week so I cannot attest to how long the scent lasts. It is said to last up to 30 days, so we shall have to see.
I think Bed Bouquet is a product for anyone from tweens to college students to adults. It is a good alternative to using fabric softener sheets on your bed and messy linen sprays. A Bed Bouquet packet would definitely make a unique stocking stuffer for the holidays.
For a limited time, each person who orders a free sample of Bed Bouquet will receive a free Bed Care eBook. Please note that you do need to pay for the shipping and handling when ordering a Bed Bouquet sample from BedBouquet.com .
