The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Verônica Kato designed Relaxante in 2017 as part of Natura's Mamãe e Bebê line, a collection built around softness, daily wear, and the kind of care that doesn't announce itself. The brief was simple: take the sensation of winding down and make it something you could wear through an entire day, not just apply at bedtime. Kato chose lavender and chamomile as the anchor, herbs known for their ability to calm without heaviness, and wrapped them in musks soft enough to feel like part of you rather than layered on top. The result is a fragrance that moves with you quietly, never demanding attention, always present.
What makes Relaxante interesting isn't what it adds, it's what it leaves out. No heavy base, no loud projection, no dramatic drydown that transforms into something unrecognizable. Instead, the composition holds a steady, herbal warmth from opening to finish. The chamomile heart softens the lavender's natural sharpness into something almost powdery, while the musky base keeps everything skin-close and intimate. It's the olfactory equivalent of a house with the windows open, always breathing, never closed off.
The evolution
The top opens clean. Lavender arrives with its herbaceous bite intact, but the herbal notes underneath keep it from being sweet or soapy. Within minutes, the chamomile softens everything, the edges round off, the green quality deepens rather than sharpens. You don't get a dramatic transition. You get a slow settling, like a room after the noise stops. The base arrives quietly: musk first, then a velvety warmth that feels less like fragrance and more like skin. By the final hours, this has become essentially you, warm, still, barely there. The kind of longevity that means you can sleep and wake with it still faintly present, pressed into the pillow.
Cultural impact
Relaxante lives comfortably in Natura's Mamãe e Bebê line, a collection of gentle, everyday scents made for daily wear rather than special occasions. The brand's positioning around natural warmth and openness translates directly here: this is a fragrance that suits someone who wants presence without performance. Community reception leans heavily toward nighttime use, with strong ratings for its calming qualities. The chamomile and lavender combination has earned praise for its approachability and consistent wearability across seasons. It's become a quiet staple in the Natura lineup, not a statement piece, but the kind of scent that earns loyalty through daily comfort.
