Perfume.

Whilst wearing ones of your best fragrances to bed may be considered a waste, it's possible Marilyn Monroe was onto something when she shared her nightly beauty anecdote. Yes, a little bedtime spritz may get things going with your partner, but it's also been revealed that wearing the right scent can bring on strong feelings of relaxation. 

Rebecca Lockwood, a Hypnosis and Positive Psychology Coach, has explained this further: “What you are doing is anchoring and training your brain to associate the smell with a certain feeling. You are installing this into your brain through your neural networks and your senses, so that the next time you come to smell that scent, it will trigger the feeling of calmness subconsciously.”
