mellower
Less harsh now
Mellower is the comparative form of mellow—softer, more relaxed, less intense.
A person who has grown mellower with age is calmer and more easygoing than before: He's much mellower now than in his angry youth.
Wine, music, or light can also be mellower—smoother, warmer, less harsh.
