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 drier, woodier reworking with cocoa and resin threaded through the spice. Less sweet and more austere than the original, but still warm. Smoky and composed.

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

Warmthtemperate0.49

Man in Black Essence sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber.

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

Riskfamiliar0.22

Man in Black Essence is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 21st percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturedense0.76

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

Sweetnessdry0.20

Man in Black Essence 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.
