Houbigant

2 fragrances, mapped across five axes.

What the Houbigant range is made of

50% of the 2 Houbigant fragrances Zenyra has mapped contain rose. A house can be described by what it returns to, and Houbigant returns to rose 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 0.45 against 0.51 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

Houbigant releases variations on a theme. Measured as the average spread of its fragrances across all five axes, the range scores 0.046 — narrow. Someone who likes one Houbigant fragrance is unusually likely to like the next, and someone who dislikes one probably will not find the exception further down the range.
