The second part of the new Fascent<\/a> brand is about the two fragrances Radical Softness<\/a> and Sel \u00e0 Vie<\/a>. Last week, in Fascent – The new brand at Aus Liebe zum Duft,<\/a> I introduced you to the label itself and also presented the first eau de parfum Milky No Way<\/a> – a wonderful, milky-nutty composition with a tonka bean finish. Beautiful to fall in love with! That’s why I’m really looking forward to today’s two protagonists and why I’m diving straight into the fragrance. <\/p>\n\n\n

Radical Softness – It couldn’t be softer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With an eau de parfum called Radical Softness<\/a>, I naturally expect exactly that: fluffy softness, a cozy hygge feeling at its finest, clouds of musk, ambroxan comfort. I want to be wrapped in absorbent cotton, caressed, nurtured and cared for, as if bedded on down and enveloped in cashmere. Can Fascent’s fragrance fulfill these high expectations? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfumer Alexandre Freile works for Firmenich and lives and works in Singapore. He not only loves discovering foreign countries while traveling, but also wants to make people a little happier, the day a little brighter and the world a little better with his creations. Radical Softness could give a first taste of how well he can turn this wish into reality. He has also penned two other fragrances, Sel \u00e0 Vie<\/a> and Cr\u00e8me Br\u00fblante<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top notes: pink pepper, white pepper

Testing<\/strong> Radical Softness by Fascent<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sweet, soft musky notes open Radical Softness, accompanied by the milky, slightly exotic nuances of frangipani and the aquatic floral tartness of cyclamen. The pepper adds a sparkling freshness and subtly spicy accents to the creation. As a result, the composition does not slip into a beguiling heaviness, but remains clear, airy and transparent. The blossoms blend wonderfully into the olfactory structure, do not dominate but, in combination with spices, musk and the clearly perceptible, fluffy notes of ambroxan, create a very authentic and atmospheric image of a skin fragrance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Radical Softness is by no means an overpowering musk scent, but a well-dosed and finely balanced mix of creamy, milky florals, cozy ambrox\u2019n\u2019musk facets and a pinch of pepper for clarity and freshness. A restrained and minimalist skin fragrance with a light to medium presence and just as long-lasting. For those who prefer quiet, calm and skintight creations with clean, milky vibes, Radical Softness by Fascent is the perfect choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
