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.

Modelled profile

Cedar and sandalwood turned creamy by iris, coconut and ambrette, with peach and balsam fir at the edges. Warm and softly grainy, it feels enveloping and calm.

How Radio Bombay smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Radio Bombay sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber, and carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.

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

Warmthtemperate0.48

Radio Bombay sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber.

Projectionmid-range0.38

Radio Bombay sits mid-range on projection. That is 7th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.42

Radio Bombay sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 69th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.62

Radio Bombay carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 76th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnesslightly sweet0.52

Radio Bombay carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 71st 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.
