There’s something about smelling roses that sends you to a happy place: be it the memory of the first time you got a single red stem rose for Valentine’s Day or your grandma’s magnificent rose garden growing up. According to a German study, there’s another happy place a rose’s sweet aroma will send you…to sleep! Participants in the study who were exposed to the smell of roses when they were sleeping experienced more pleasant dreams than those who weren’t. So before you go to bed tonight, spritz your pillow with these rose perfumes.
