The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018 by Zara, Soft Haze is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for men that balances mineral freshness with warm spiciness and powdery woods. The composition opens with a crisp mineral note, giving way to the sharpness of black pepper at its heart. This contrast between cool and warm notes creates an intriguing tension, while cedar forms a grounding base layer that brings everything together.
Apply one to two sprays for a balanced presence throughout the day. The mineral top note fades within an hour but leaves room for the black pepper and cedar base notes to unfold gradually, ensuring warmth and depth as the hours pass.
