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

Grapefruit, bitter orange and petitgrain sparkle over soft orange blossom, lifted by clean aldehydes. It is a fresh, effervescent cologne, bright and airy with a soap-clean musk underneath.

How Cologne smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Cologne keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and sits light in the air, close to the skin and easy to miss.

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

Warmthtemperate0.51

Cologne sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 59th percentile for warmth across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.41

Cologne 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 15th percentile for projection across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.44

Cologne sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 84th percentile for risk across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Texturesheer0.18

Cologne sits light in the air, close to the skin and easy to miss. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for texture across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.10

Cologne keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 5th percentile for sweetness across 5,320 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.
