Fragrance information:
Soft Spoken — an expressive woody-balsamic fragrance
13Perfumes Soft Spoken is a unisex fragrance from the Ukrainian brand 13Perfumes, released in 2024.
The composition is presented in perfume, or extrait, concentration, so its character is built around high intensity, a dense presence and long-lasting performance on the skin.
The fragrance belongs to the woody and balsamic families and is intended for women and men who appreciate unconventional, profound perfumery.
The character and mood of the composition
The name Soft Spoken creates an intriguing contrast with the fragrance’s actual sound.
It opens fresh and cool, then becomes resinous, dry and woody, finally revealing a soft musky-woody accord.
This is not an airy, minimalist fragrance, but rather one that is restrained in style while being highly confident in intensity.
An important feature of Soft Spoken is its very powerful sillage.
The fragrance is noticeable in the air and can linger on skin and clothing for a long time, so it is best applied mindfully: start with a small number of sprays and add more if necessary.
The manufacturer has not provided precise dosage recommendations for skin or clothing, but the high concentration and powerful sillage suggest a moderate approach.
When and for whom Soft Spoken is suitable
As a unisex fragrance, Soft Spoken is not tied to traditional gender codes.
On some skin it may smell stricter and drier, highlighting cypress, cedar and guaiac wood, while on other skin it may feel warmer and softer thanks to balsamic nuances, cashmeran and musk.
The best time to discover the composition is during the cooler season, for evening outings, business meetings and situations where a noticeable, composed fragrance is appropriate.
In hot weather, its rich character may feel especially intense, so a light application is advisable.
Soft Spoken will appeal to those looking for a fragrance with character who enjoy resins, dry woods and a long-lasting trail, but do not want to limit themselves to obviously masculine or feminine compositions.
The fragrance’s place within the 13Perfumes style
For the Ukrainian brand 13Perfumes, this release reveals an interest in expressive niche perfumery and layered natural accords.
Fresh citrus and green nuances blend with incense, balsams, woody materials and a musky base, creating a cohesive and recognizable image.
No information is available about the composition’s perfumer, its inclusion in a specific collection or other concentrations of Soft Spoken.
For this reason, the fragrance is primarily interesting for its independent character: rather than offering several options in terms of density, it immediately makes a statement with its rich extrait formula.
