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.

Reviewers consistently remark on the quality of the materials.

Reviewed profile

Violin varnish and tree resin lend a dry, lacquered warmth over mahogany, maplewood and cedar. Amber pine rosin, walnut and birch deepen it, with moss and an outdoors accord giving the feel of a workshop full of aged, resinous wood.

Reviewed profile. This profile has received a focused catalogue review.

Warmthwarm, close0.72

Bowmakers reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 81st percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.46

Bowmakers sits mid-range on projection. That is 39th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.34

Bowmakers sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 42nd percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.58

Bowmakers carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 72nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.28

Bowmakers 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.
