exuded

Slowly seeped out

Exuded is the past tense of exude, meaning to ooze or discharge slowly through pores or openings: The tree exuded sap from the wound.

More often figurative—to radiate or give off a quality in an unmistakable way: She exuded confidence, The old house exuded charm.

The figurative sense suggests something emanating naturally, without effort or concealment.
