Modelled profile
Elemi and layered peppers open sharp over orris and olibanum, settling into cedar, vetiver, oud and amber. It's woody-spicy and vivid, projecting well from a peppery top to a resinous base. An intricate oriental-woody with real presence.

How V for Men smells, measured
On Zenyra's five taste axes, V for Men carries across a room and announces itself, and keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere.

V for Men keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 30th 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.
