What you need to know

Why wear a quiet perfume?
Some places call for discretion: a shared office, a classroom, a hospital ward or a long car journey. In those situations a soft scent is more pleasant for you and the people around you. STAY CALM is part of LR’s MOOD INFUSION collection, where each perfume is named after a mood, and LR describes this one as calm, peaceful and harmonious, with the slogan “Peaceful mind, grateful heart”.
LR describes juicy plum, exotic mandarin and a warm solar note at the opening, then a floral, transparent heart with iris and powdery notes. The base of warm sandalwood and musk is the part LR associates with a feeling of comfort. Powdery iris scents are often compared to clean cosmetics or soft knitwear.
It also makes a gentle gift for a mother or grandmother who prefers delicate, understated perfumes.
What does STAY CALM smell like?
| Stage | Notes (official LR list) | What you notice |
|---|---|---|
| Top notes | mandarin, plum and solar notes | Soft fruit opens the scent with a warm, sunny glow. |
| Heart notes | floral-transparent notes, iris and powdery notes | An airy, powdery floral follows, with iris at its core. |
| Base notes | sandalwood, dry woods and musk | Creamy sandalwood and clean musk stay close to the skin. |
| Family and intensity | fruity-floral; light | LR classes it as fruity-floral with a rather subtle projection. |
How should you wear a soft scent like this?
- Spray it on skin: LR explains that perfume develops best on the skin, because body warmth releases the fragrance molecules, so the scent comes through more intensely and lasts longer.
- Close to the body: wrists and the base of the neck keep it personal.
- Seasons: it works all year, and its powdery character is particularly pleasant in autumn and winter knitwear.
- Layering: an unscented moisturiser beforehand helps a subtle scent stay longer.
- Take care with fabrics: you can also spray hair or clothing for a stronger effect, but test a hidden spot first on light-coloured or delicate materials, as the fragrance may leave marks.
