Fragrance houses

Bastille

2 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Bastille range is made of

100% of the 2 Bastille fragrances Zenyra has mapped contain cedar. A house can be described by what it returns to, and Bastille returns to cedar more than to anything else — across 2 releases that is a position rather than a coincidence.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads cooler than the catalogue as a whole: warmth averages 0.32 against 0.51 across all mapped fragrances. That is a wide margin, and it is the clearest thing the data says about this house.

One idea, or many

Bastille releases variations on a theme. Measured as the average spread of its fragrances across all five axes, the range scores 0.055 — narrow. Someone who likes one Bastille fragrance is unusually likely to like the next, and someone who dislikes one probably will not find the exception further down the range.
