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 and texture runs dense. Risk sits near the middle. Open to something unusual, with no need to be noticed for it.

The shortlist
Primary
Le Labo
The closest structural fit. Warm, dry and dense, with risk where this map sits. Projection runs further than the map asks. That is where it stretches.

Tom Ford
The same warm, dry direction with lower risk. Warmer than the map, with the same density. Easier to wear across a working week.

Comme des Garçons
Holds the warmth and the density, and pushes risk further. The driest of the three, and more resinous. For when the same taste wants a sharper edge.
