Getting ready for bed looks different for everybody. Some people enjoy their 12-step skincare routines, while others simply take a makeup wipe to the face before slipping into their sheets. But there’s one thing most of us can agree on: We all want to feel good when we catch our z’s.
As of writing, PerfumeTok (the perfume community on TikTok) has been adding perfume to their bedtime rituals with some videos reaching over 90 million views.
