Spring

Tarry, kerosene-edged leather over smoky styrax and dry vetiver, deliberately industrial. Provocative and challenging, it turns the smell of asphalt and resin into something strange and compelling.

How Tar smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Tar divides opinion by design, and leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears.

Warmthtemperate0.60

Tar sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 66th percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.56

Tar sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 71st percentile for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Riskpolarising0.85

Tar divides opinion by design. That is among the highest in the catalogue for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Textureexposed0.81

Tar leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears. That is among the highest in the catalogue for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.28

Tar keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 29th percentile for sweetness across 5,322 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.
