What does Soft Tension smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn next and winter well behind. Daily wear, leisure and business come up most often. Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it leaves a light trail without pushing itself on the room. More voters call it feminine, but a good share see it as masculine, which fits its unisex character.

Freesia and moss open fresh, floral and green. Cedarwood forms a woody core in the heart. In the base, musk and maté absolute turn the scent powdery and creamy, while a faintly synthetic freshness runs throughout. Trussardi Musc Noir and Gucci Mémoire d'une Odeur have a close profile.
