How Merak smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Merak reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory, and leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears.

Warmthwarm, close0.78

Merak reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 85th percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.64

Merak 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 82nd percentile for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Riskpolarising0.71

Merak divides opinion by design. That is among the highest in the catalogue for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Textureexposed0.75

Merak leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears. That is among the highest in the catalogue for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Sweetnesslightly sweet0.57

Merak carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 77th 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.
