Lime and orange open bright over a lush white-floral heart of gardenia, tiare and freesia, warmed by caramel, vanilla and sandalwood. Cooler and more citrus-forward than its warmer counterpart, it stays fresh through the drydown. A sunny floral with a soft creamy base.

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Desire reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin, and carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.
Desire reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin. That is 20th percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Desire sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 66th percentile for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Desire sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 78th percentile for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Desire sits mid-range on texture, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 79th percentile for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Desire carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 61st percentile for sweetness across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
