Modelled profile

A deep oud sweetened by raspberry and resinous benzoin over oud wood. It reads warm and rich with an unexpected fruity lift, weighty and distinctive, projecting with confidence.

How Merak smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Merak reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory, 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.

Warmthwarm, close0.95

Texturedense0.78

Merak feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is 94th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnesslightly sweet0.51

Merak carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 71st 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.
