Struggling to fall asleep despite feeling exhausted is a frustrating and all-too-common experience. Over time, I’ve tried everything from magnesium supplements to soothing sleep stories, but nothing has proven as effective for my insomnia as a well-chosen sleep spray.
Recently, I discovered the Kloris Soothing Mist, an aromatherapy spray originally used in luxury London spas that is now available for home use. After just a couple of weeks of consistent use, I noticed a remarkable difference: I fell asleep within minutes of spraying my pillow.
To be thorough, I also tested The White Company Sleep Soothing Pillow Mist, a popular alternative, to see how it compared in cost, scent, longevity, packaging, and—most importantly—effectiveness.

Sleep sprays are meant to be used nightly, so cost per use is a crucial factor. The White Company offers 150ml for £22 at Selfridges, making it less expensive upfront than Kloris, which sells 100ml bottles for £28. However, with a 10% discount code (MIST10), Kloris drops to £25.20—which breaks down to less than 11p per night for over 200 uses, according to the Mirror.
In my experience, price reflects potency. The White Company requires nearly triple the number of sprays compared to Kloris to achieve the same scent intensity. Just two spritzes of Kloris fill the room with a calming aroma, whereas The White Company needs five or six sprays.
This difference in potency also affects longevity. The White Company’s scent disappears by morning, while Kloris lingers for hours, delivering “concentrated aromatherapy, not a diluted fragrance.”
As for scent profiles, The White Company blends lavender, chamomile, clary sage, and vetivert cedarwood, evoking a fresh walk through spring lavender fields. It’s delicate, pleasant, and invigorating—ideal for those who prefer lighter fragrances. By contrast, Kloris combines lavender, patchouli, ylang-ylang, rose geranium, and blood orange to create a rich, enveloping aroma that promotes deep relaxation by soothing the nervous system.
Using Kloris feels like being wrapped in a luxurious spa experience or sleeping in an upscale hotel. The White Company’s pillow mist is lovely but more subtle, better suited as a refreshing companion for bedtime reading rather than a sleep aid.
Another consideration is bottle design and travel-friendliness. Kloris’s 100ml dark amber bottle with lilac and gold accents exudes luxury and meets hand luggage liquid restrictions, making it travel-friendly. The White Company’s larger 150ml bottle features minimalist, neutral packaging that blends seamlessly with bedroom decor but may be less practical for flying.
While I appreciate The White Company’s aesthetic, I prefer Kloris for its effectiveness and exclusive discount. The subtle lavender scent from The White Company is pleasant but doesn’t help me fall asleep faster. Kloris, however, consistently ushers me into restful sleep minutes after use, with an association growing stronger over time between its aroma and my body’s “sleep mode.”
In conclusion, if you’re seeking a genuinely effective, affordable sleep spray, the Kloris Soothing Mist is an invaluable addition to a bedtime routine. It may cost a bit more upfront, but with the discount and low cost per night, it offers real value and a dependable path to better sleep.
