Levatio is definitely an effective calming scent, although I would say that it is better at making you calm enough to lie down and rest, but I'm not sure I would use it as a sleep scent since the tangerine in this is such a powerhouse. It's the strongest note throughout wear, and it is pith-y. 

 

This is a TAL, so its scent shouldn't really be judged anyway, but don't let the scent in the bottle deter you from using this. It smells a little scary, and I think it's the way the ylang ylang shouts over the other notes, but fortunately, it is not a main player on my skin. The fennel note is somewhat black licorice-y without being full-on black licorice-y like anise is, and it also calms down after the wet stage of the scent. The tangerine and lavender end up being stars of the show early on, but this morphs and is more about the tangerine and patchouli by the end of the day. I didn't get the cedar on my skin, and could not pick out any of the wild carrot.

 

Wearing this immediately put me at ease, so I definitely recommend this TAL for its purpose. And if you're a fan of tangerine, you will probably like this, too.

This smells like the amped-up magical powerhouse cousin of Recovery Room and Blackout Blinds. I love it for work when the ambient noise of 2025 is jangling my nerves too much for me to really buckle down and hit my effective zone. The scent is herbal, zippy, citrusy, and gently sunny. I think it would be an amazing therapy adjunct.

I got this specifically to help with what is intended- rest, recuperation, and hopefully some nourishment for my depleted nervous system. 
I will admit, I was worried upon first sniff- in the bottle I got a hint of what I can only describe as "urinal cake". Luckily that passed very quickly. I got a 30-second HELLO! from the slang-ylang, then that, too, passed by. Now that it's settled, scent-wise I'm mostly getting chamomile, lavender and tangerine. But the important bit is what it's *meant* for, and in that regard, it's giving me what I had hoped for, which is rest down to the cellular level. I opted to put this on at bedtime, and while the scent doesn't make me sleepy (like, say, TKO sometimes does) it IS relaxing me for sure.

A *perfect* blend to help those adrenals get some much-needed support!
