Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Fresh herbal lavender, clary sage, and thyme over a light cedar-amber base make this peak in spring and summer. Early fall works on mild days; deep winter is too quiet for the sheer, airy profile.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

A discreet projection and calming herbal character make it an ideal office or casual choice, with enough sport-adjacent freshness for post-gym wear. Too soft for formal events and too unisex-clean for dramatic date nights.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Apothecary Relax Eau de Parfum surrounds you in a tranquil haze of lavender and clary sage, evoking the peacefulness of a sunlit herb garden. The aromatic heart is softened by white cedar and a wisp of amber, while thyme and vetiver add subtle earthy depth. Airy, gentle, and quietly modern, this scent is like a deep, restorative breath-welcoming relaxation and mental clarity without overwhelming the senses.
