The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1990 by Davidoff, Relax is a unisex Oriental fragrance that balances aromatic freshness with warm, enveloping notes. The composition opens with tarragon and mint, creating an invigorating herbal top note that gives way to the soft spiciness of bay leaf and anise. In the heart, lavender and bergamot provide a bright, fresh contrast before settling into a rich base of patchouli, vetiver, cedar, and vanilla. The result is a fragrance that feels both uplifting and grounding, as if breathing in the essence of a serene yet vibrant space.
Given its long-lasting and strong projection, Relax is best applied in moderation. One to two sprays on pulse points will ensure that it develops fully without overpowering. The fragrance blooms gradually over time, making it ideal for a full day of wear.
