Fragrances that help you relax

My number 1, go-to relaxation fragrance is Kanon Norwegian Wood.
Oud oils. Especially Hindis.
I don't know if it's my number one, but I definitly agree.
Also for some reason I like Giorgio beverly hills for men...wierd I know, I guess I find patchouli relaxing
Aqua di Parma Colonia
Creed Silver Mountain Water
Creed Silver Mountain Water
Caron Pour un Homme
I second this one!
A light Splash of Tabac in the Evening.
I think I'm very much in the minority on this one. I don't really associate relaxation with the fragrance I'm wearing. I understand aroma therapy and how certain scents, like lavender, are conducive to relaxation. And I know some of you apply certain scents to help you relax. I enjoy reading how so many of you enjoy frags this way, I just haven't gone there yet. When I think of relaxation, I think more of enjoying a cigar with a favorite beverage sitting by the pool with nothing to do but enjoy the moment.

Macallan 12--oddly enough it is most relaxing when I smell it in my mouth.
Yes, exactly!
Amouage fragrances do the opposite for me. They are so rich and complex that my mind starts racing and dancing in response to all those gorgeous notes. Although, I do find them warming and comforting.
Diptyque Tam Dao gave me quite a feeling of serenity the first time I wore it. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get a repeat. Admittedly, I haven't worn it much as I only have a small sample.
I was going to post this along with SMW. I am also working with only a small sample vial. Gonna have to do something about that... for my mental health, of course.
Great avatar, BTW!
I have not related fragrances to relaxation yet (although I'm very new to this). But now that I think about it, Lavender could do the trick, also I'm thinking maybe a good sandalwood.
Soivohle Wild Ginger Chai
BIG +1 here. Sometimes I'll actually smear a tiny bit of really stinky Hindi oud under my nostrils before going to bed.
I would also add sandalwood oil. A good sandalwood can really activate the ol' reptile part of the brain ... to the point where all you want to do is fall asleep on a warm rock in the sunshine for a few hours.
Pinaud Citrus Musk and just about any Florida Water are relaxing or "I am having a rotten day and I could use a pick-me-up" kind of scents for me.
