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

A dark woody core wrapped in leather and heavy spice, dry and brooding throughout. It carries weight and warmth with a distinctive edge, projecting a sober, masculine presence.

The Considered Statement

Makes a statement worth asking about.

Unusual enough to stop someone mid-thought. Considered enough to keep them there. The question it raises is the point.

How Woody Black smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Woody Black feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there, and keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere.

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

Warmthwarm, close0.71

Woody Black reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 80th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.64

Woody Black sits mid-range on projection. That is 82nd percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskpolarising0.71

Woody Black divides opinion by design. That is among the highest in the catalogue for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturedense0.72

Woody Black feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is 80th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.29

Woody Black keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 42nd 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.
