gentle breezes
Light, calm air
Gentle breezes are soft, light winds—the kind that barely stir leaves or pleasantly cool the skin without force.
The phrase appears in weather reports, poetry, and descriptions of idyllic settings: Gentle breezes carried the scent of jasmine through the garden.
The plural suggests sustained or recurring conditions rather than a single gust.
