Life has a way of throwing stress at you from all directions. Work, social situations, travel. Sometimes even just existing feels like a full-time job. And while we all have our ways of dealing with it (deep breaths, random snack breaks, scrolling through cat videos), scent is one of those underrated things that can instantly change your mood.

However, relaxation shouldn't be limited to morning meditation when you really need it in the moments where your brain is working overtime. Top bring your back to a calmer state, here are four perfumes with stress-relieving notes – each one perfect for different kinds of everyday chaos. 

Jasmine 

Use when stress and anxiety become your new coworkers at the office

You know those moments at work when imposter syndrome kicks in, and you suddenly forget how to type or talk like a normal person? Yeah. That’s when you need jasmine. Jasmine is the kind that doesn’t need to announce itself but somehow makes everything feel a little more in control.

Meet Jasmin Al-Jazeera (women's), your reason to keep going even on the toughest days. This scent takes jasmine’s natural calm and refines it. Soft, yet polished, with a hint of powdery rose. Beneath it all, saffron and musk keep things together. It doesn’t demand attention; it simply assures you that you belong.

Lavender

Use when you are ready to unwind from the chaos.

Lavender is like that deep sigh you take when you finally sit down after a long day. It’s the kind of scent that instantly tells your brain, ‘Hey, you can relax now.’  But Habibi Albi Oud (unisex) isn’t just your typical sleepy lavender. Instead of feeling like a pillow mist, it’s enriched with nutmeg and saffron, adding warmth and depth. 

The result? A truly romantic and cozy scent that wraps around you in comfort, indulgence, and pure relaxation. Meanwhile, the oud and musk in the base create a subtle grounding effect, helping you unwind without even realizing it.  Spray this on when the day is done, you’re curled up on the couch, and your only plan is to exist in a stress-free bubble.

Sandalwood 

Use when you are trying to feel comfortable in a room full of people. 

Sandalwood is a social cheat code. It’s warm, smooth, and has this way of making you feel at ease. It doesn’t demand attention, but it makes people want to be around you. That’s why Rendezvous A New York (unisex) is perfect for those situations where you’re meeting new people and don’t want to overthink every interaction. 

The sandalwood here is soft and creamy, balanced with cedarwood and papyrus, so it never feels too strong. It’s like that moment in a conversation when everything stops being awkward, and you’re just vibing. Wear this when you’re catching up with an old friend or finally saying yes to that dinner invite instead of bailing last minute.

Cardamom

Use when you are going somewhere new and trying not to panic. 

Cardamom is a reassuring scent. It's warm but fresh and exactly what you need in a new place when you are trying to keep everything under control.  That’s why Italian Leather (men's) is the travel scent. The cardamom here is bold at first, but then it mellows out with a mix of cloves and bergamot, keeping things light and crisp.

Then the leather and birchwood step in, grounding everything, like the moment when you finally figure out your way home in a new city. Wear this when you’re stepping off a plane, wandering unfamiliar streets, or just need to feel a little more in touch with yourself.
