Shiseido Relaxing Fragrance is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997. Relaxing Fragrance opens with Rose, Bamboo, Cucumber, and Artemisia, and settles into a heart of Redcurrant Leaf, Peony, Gardenia, and Cardamom. Shiseido's Relaxing Fragrance carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Shiseido's Relaxing Fragrance is a divisive trip down memory lane. For some, it's a nostalgic, calming green floral, but others find the opening jarringly vegetal or too energetic to live up to its name. A love-it-or-hate-it scent with a loyal following begging for its return.

About

Opens with an intriguing, verdant blast of cucumber and bamboo, softened by a whisper of rose and tart raspberry. This fresh greenness then settles into a heart of creamy gardenia and delicate peony, spiced subtly with cardamom. The aromatic and woody accords provide a serene, grounded finish.
