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

Orange blossom, jasmine and gardenia form a soft, cool white floral over gentle amber. It smells fresh and slightly creamy, floral warmth kept restrained. Elegant and easy, quietly refined.

The Crisp Presence

Crisp and impossible to miss.

The choice was always going to be precise. Clean lines and nothing left to chance. You knew exactly what you were doing.

How Pure Poison smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Pure Poison is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure, and reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin.

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

Warmthcool, open0.26

Pure Poison reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin. That is 12th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.65

Pure Poison sits mid-range on projection. That is 83rd percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskfamiliar0.17

Pure Poison is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 7th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.52

Pure Poison carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 57th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.28

Pure Poison 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.
