Soft Tension by Andrea Maack was launched in 2016 and is a creation that balances floral and woody notes with an intriguing powdery musk. Perfumer Aliénor Massenet crafted this unisex fragrance to evoke a sense of tension between softness and depth, where the aromatic and mossy elements intertwine seamlessly with earthy undertones. The composition opens with a fresh spicy note, which gives way to a heart of florals that is both delicate and warm, anchored by woody and powdery accords.

Application Tips
Apply Soft Tension sparingly as the aromatic top notes are potent and fade within an hour. The woody and musky base evolves slowly over time, so it's best applied close to skin for a more intimate experience. Ideal for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet enduring presence.
