The sedative brought in by Sir John Gielgud is said to be Valerian. Valerian root is an old herbal remedy used for insomnia, as it has a very strong calming effect, similar to an antihistamine. At one point, a character states he knew Valerian was used because he could smell it. Valerian root, even when dried, has a distinctive earthy, musty, and cloying smell, easily turning off many who might want to use it.
