Fragrance houses

Elizabeth Taylor

12 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Elizabeth Taylor range is made of

67% of the 12 Elizabeth Taylor fragrances Zenyra has mapped contain jasmine. A house can be described by what it returns to, and Elizabeth Taylor returns to jasmine more than to anything else — across 12 releases that is a position rather than a coincidence.

On Zenyra's five axes the house reads more textured than the catalogue as a whole: texture averages 0.58 against 0.48 across all mapped fragrances. The margin is modest — this is a house closer to the centre of taste than to any edge of it.

One idea, or many

Elizabeth Taylor releases variations on a theme. Measured as the average spread of its fragrances across all five axes, the range scores 0.091 — narrow. Someone who likes one Elizabeth Taylor fragrance is unusually likely to like the next, and someone who dislikes one probably will not find the exception further down the range.

The median release year across the mapped range is 1993, which means most of what defines this house was made before the reformulations of the 2000s.
