Soft & Tender

Frédéric Malle’s Soft & Tender collection is a delicate exploration of purity and subtlety in fragrance. Designed to evoke the sensation of soft, raw cotton linen that becomes more comfortable with each wear, these compositions are airy, pastel-hued, and imbued with an almost tactile gentleness. The collection features fragrances that are both innocent and magnetic, offering bubbles of tenderness to nestle into.

The inspiration behind Soft & Tender lies in the desire to create compositions that are sublimely delicate, recalling the sensation of raw cotton linen that becomes softer with each wear. These fragrances aim to capture the purity of bergamot, the sparkle of violet, and the softness of white musk, among other notes. If they were colors, they would be a palette of pastels—compositions that are both innocent and magnetic, or bubbles of tenderness to nestle into.
