From soothing fragrances to smart recovery tools, these elevated essentials are designed to help you recharge and restore clarity
Diptyque Electric Diffuser
While candles lend ambience to any space, they’re hardly ideal for overnight use. Diptyque’s Electric Diffuser delivers the same olfactory pleasure without the safety concerns. Using air to diffuse fragrance rather than heat, the device offers instant activation—and just as swift a shut-off—allowing effortless scent changes between nine of the maison’s iconic perfumes. Minimalist in form, this sleek, scent-forward object is as much a design statement as it is a sensorial indulgence.
Penhaligon’s A Balm of Calm
The power of scent to influence mood is well-known. Lavender and sandalwood, long associated with relaxation, take centre stage in Penhaligon’s A Balm of Calm. Created for everyday wear—particularly for those prone to social anxiety—this eau de parfum gently bridges the worlds of fragrance and emotional well-being. It opens with lavender and geranium, softens into iris and sandalwood, and finishes with warming notes of rum, woods, bergamot, and jasmine. The result is a quietly grounding composition and a subtle tonic for a restless mind.
This Works Sleep Plus Pillow Spray
We all understand the importance of quality sleep, but quieting the mind the moment your head hits the pillow is easier said than done. Enter This Works’ Sleep Plus Pillow Spray, a cult-favourite, motion-activated mist crafted for restless sleepers. While not a replacement for sleep aids, its blend of lavender, chamomile and vetivert essential oils helps create a soothing environment, gradually releasing calming aromas through the night to encourage deeper, uninterrupted rest.
Dyson OnTrac Headphones
Need to tune out the world? Dyson’s OnTrac headphones might be the escape you’re after. The brand’s debut high-fidelity audio headphones feature custom Active Noise Cancellation technology, dampening up to 40dB of ambient noise. Certified by US Ergonomics, each ear cushion is wrapped in ultra-soft microfibre and high-grade foam to ensure all-day comfort and an optimal acoustic seal. Multi-pivot gimbal arms and a cleverly weighted headband guarantee balance, while a wealth of customisation options heightens the experience.
HigherDose Infrared Sauna Blanket
Infrared therapy is in the spotlight, and rightly so. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air, HigherDose’s Infrared Sauna Blanket warms the body directly for a penetrating, restorative sweat. Ideal for home use, it boosts circulation, lowers cortisol, soothes sore muscles, improves sleep, and encourages radiant skin. Crafted from non-toxic materials and enhanced with healing crystals and optional pulsed electromagnetic field technology, it promotes full-body recovery in a blissful 30 to 45 minutes. For best results, follow with a cold rinse to lock in the benefits.
Moom Health Super Ashwagandha
Like any well-formulated adaptogen, ashwagandha nourishes from within—supporting stress reduction, better sleep, cognitive clarity and emotional resilience. Moom Health’s Super Ashwagandha goes one step further by including schisandra, another adaptogen that enhances the stress-lowering effects. As cortisol levels decline, many users also report improved skin and hair health—a welcome bonus to help attain a balanced mind and body.
