Notes carried over from an earlier source and not independently checked.
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
Galbanum and aldehydes give a sharp green-vintage opening over a rich floral heart of jasmine, rose and narcissus. Leather, oakmoss and civet build a deep, animalic chypre base, projecting with the fullness of a classic oriental green.

The Purist
The Signature
Unmistakable. Always has been.
You arrived with a signature and you've never needed to explain it. Consistency is its own kind of confidence. Some things become part of the room before you do.
On Zenyra's five taste axes, Must De Cartier carries across a room and announces itself, and keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere.

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.
