The Body Shop Spa of the World Lavender Pillow Mist is sunlight in a bottle

Lavender suffers from such bad PR. Long associated with dusty sachets forgotten in lingerie drawers, some brands tart up their lavenders by adding notes of vanilla (shudder) and chamomile, making them even dustier. Thank god that The Body Shop's Spa of the World French Lavender Pillow Mist is pure, uncut Provençal lavender. Intensely herbal and brightly floral, it is literally sunlight in a handy spray format.

Lately, I’ve been going overboard and spraying not just pillows, but every room. ‘Cozy’ feels oppressive now and we’re all ready for winter to take a hike. But no matter how much I open windows and wash floors, I still need the actual smell of spring.

Sprayed throughout the house, The Body Shop's Spa of the World French Lavender Pillow Mist creates the sensation that someone (not me) vacuumed every piece of furniture, deep-cleaned the oven, scrubbed the baseboards and (be still my heart) did all the laundry and aired it outdoors in some parallel-universe lavender field.

Sadly, drenching the house in the Body Shop’s Lavender Pillow Mist is not a substitute for actually cleaning. That still needs doing. But if the thought of getting down on your hands and knees to scrub baseboards puts you in a funk, then read this wonderful story by Rani Sheen for the Kit: Let’s All Angry-Clean Our Houses, Shall we? and you will feel like a member of a heretofore unnamed sisterhood of raging women.

And, in the meantime, pillow spray.
