Modelled profile
Smoky, rubbery leather softened by tea, musk, and vanilla. Warm and unusual, it carries a distinctive tarry edge. Bold and memorable.

How Black smells, measured
On Zenyra's five taste axes, Black 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.
Black sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 37th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Black carries across a room and announces itself. That is 93rd percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Black sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 68th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Black carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 42nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Black 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.
