The Taste Map
Archetype: The Anchor
You know exactly what you like and wear it for yourself.
Warmth sits high and sweetness sits low, so the shape is warm without turning edible. Projection stays close, texture stays composed, and risk sits near the middle: open to something unusual, not looking to be noticed for it.

The shortlist
Primary
Le Labo
The closest structural fit. Warm, dry and densely textured, with risk sitting where this map sits. Projection runs a little further than the map asks, which is the one place it stretches.

Tom Ford
The same warm, dry direction with lower risk and a smoother texture. Easier to wear across a working week, and the more familiar of the three.

Comme des Garçons
Holds the warmth and pushes risk and texture further. More exposed and more resinous, for when the same taste wants a sharper edge.
