Modelled profile
Cardamom and plum open over a bouquet of tuberose, jasmine and rose before incense, guaiac and vetiver dry it into a woody chypre. Dense and structured, it balances floral fullness against a mossy, resinous base.

How Opus I smells, measured
On Zenyra's five taste axes, Opus I carries across a room and announces itself, and feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there.
Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.
Opus I sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber.
Opus I carries across a room and announces itself. That is 91st percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Opus I sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 92nd percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Opus I feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is 80th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Opus I carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.
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.
