Lavender does smell beautiful always but combining it with gentle chamomile takes the fragrance to a new level altogether. And the essential oils included in each of the refills helps to intensify the fragrance for a better experience.

Also, both are highly beneficial plants, and their fragrances are known to have sleep benefits. As such, combining the two also enhances the therapeutic effect.

So, using it for your bedroom for a peaceful night’s sleep is not a bad idea at all. Note here that the smell is quite pleasant and appealing but not very strong. Thus, you will never feel uncomfortable.

Moving on to the ease of use, you’ll be glad to know that it just needs to be fixed onto the plug-in warmer. Then on, you can enjoy uninterrupted fragrance for days to come with each refill. What’s more, one pack of this product comes with 10 refills that can offer continuous fragrance for as many as 450 days.

What Could’ve Been Better?

The only issue that we faced with this air freshener was that it leaked a few times when it accidentally fell off while being fixed onto the warmer. And the place where it leaks will need a thorough cleanup, so you must be careful while handling this product. If it falls onto your hands, make sure you rinse them properly.

Pros
  • Sleep benefits enhanced with chamomile
  • Contains essential oils to intensify the fragrance
  • Produces a pleasant and appealing fragrance

What Could’ve Been Better?

The only aspect which we found a bit disappointing was that this product couldn’t remove strong pungent smells completely.

In such cases, you can look for another product which is specially equipped to remove bad smells.

Pros
