ActiveScent™ SLEEP

🌙 Sleep - Fall asleep naturally

Fall asleep faster and sleep deeper. Without supplements.

ActiveScent™ Sleep is a functional scent ritual, developed to naturally calm your body and mind and prepare you for deep, uninterrupted nighttime rest.

ActiveScent™ only uses scents that make a functional contribution to the pure function of this product. Sleep. No other unnecessary additions. The scents are based on scientific studies.

With 11 premium essential oils and upcycled botanical ingredients, this soft, earthy scent brings together powerful aromatherapy, with proven calming scents like lavender, sage and cedarwood.

💤 How it helps you sleep better
• Lavender calms the nervous system and slows your heart rate
• Clary Sage reduces stress and hormonal tension
• Clearwood® brings deep relaxation
• Eucalyptus opens your breathing for a smoother transition to rest
• Neryl Acetate adds a soft floral note that soothes emotional unrest

💫 What you smell
• Top: Fresh lavender & soft eucalyptus clear your head
• Heart: Earthy sage and soft neroli envelop you with calm
• Base: Warm cedarwood and Clean Clearwood® bring you into balance

🧠 Why scent is so powerful: the science
• Scent goes directly into the limbic system, the oldest part of our brain, where emotions, memories and survival reactions are processed.
• Unlike other senses (like sight or hearing), scent doesn't need to take a detour through the 'rational' cerebral cortex. So it has a direct line to our subconscious.

That's why scents can:
• Evoke a feeling of safety or relaxation
• Influence your mood within seconds
• Recall memories (think of the scent of your grandmother's house or vacation)

🫁 Comparison with Air up & scent that simulates taste
With air up you just drink water, but via a scent pod you smell for example peach or cola. This scent goes via the retronasal route (back of your nose while drinking) to your brain, which interprets the signal as "taste".

👉 Your brain distorts reality: it turns scent into a taste experience, that's how powerful scent is in your perception.

Just like air up uses scent to influence taste, we use perfume scents to influence mood, focus, sleep, hormonal balance or energy.

🌿 1. Direct emotional effect
Scents like lavender, cedarwood, citrus or rosemary are linked in studies to sleep, alertness or stress reduction.

By combining these in a targeted way in our ActiveScent™ formula, we control the emotional system via scent, with the goal of a specific effect (like calming or energizing).

🧠 2. No detour, straight to the core
Functional perfumes don't work via placebo or suggestion, but via biochemical triggers in the brain. For example: lavender increases alpha waves in the brain → which are connected to relaxation.

💨 3. Scent as 'mental prompt'
By linking scent to a repeated action (like applying your perfume before bedtime), it becomes a conditioned signal for your body: "It's time to come to rest."

🎯 Why this works
• No supplement needed: You don't have to take anything. Just smelling is enough.
• Fast effect: Noticeable within seconds.
• 100% natural activation: The scent does the work, without side effects.
• Functional and sensual: It smells wonderful and supports your wellbeing.

The scents are developed in collaboration with our scent partners. Specially for application between nose and lips. A special scent, with special requirements and safe for you. Just like every other scent from Cosmeau, without carcinogenic substances at raw material level.

Use
Apply between nose and lips via the stick or with your finger, before bedtime to prepare your mental state for sleep. Not suitable for on the lips. Roll up your upper lip, breathe deeply through your nose, for an extra dose.

Apply this rhythm every day and you will sleep better and better. Avoid mobile/blue and bright light, don't drink anything 2 hours before sleep, and try to let go of your thoughts and pay attention to your breathing. All this ensures that you improve your sleep routine and your brain will link the scent with your wind-down ritual.

You need a minimal amount so with the stick you can last 6-12 months, depending on frequency and quantity.

The refills are plastic free and you can use the refill in our universal patent-pending holder. The holder is also suitable for our deodorant refill, and our perfume line refill.
