Soft Tension
Soft Tension by Andrea Maack is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with freesia and oakmoss, moves into mate and dries down to musk and cedarwood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
Heart
- Mate Dry, smoky, bitter green tea. Toasted rather than fresh.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
