These describe how the fragrance is generally reported to behave. Skin chemistry, weather and how much you apply all change it, so your own experience may differ.

Modelled profile

Built around bergamot, lemon and coriander, with musk and amber underneath. It reads cool, with a little weight underneath and dry throughout. It reaches past the wearer without filling a room.

How Opus 1 smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Opus 1 keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and carries across a room and announces itself.

Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.

Warmthtemperate0.39

Opus 1 sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 33rd percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionroom-filling0.69

Opus 1 carries across a room and announces itself. That is 87th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.50

Opus 1 sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 89th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.42

Opus 1 carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 22nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.19

Opus 1 keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 14th percentile for sweetness across 5,283 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.
