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

Cardamom and orris over sandalwood, cedar and patchouli, with myrrh warming the base. Powdery and resinous, it feels refined and quietly rich.

How Lustre smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Lustre reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory, and feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there.

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

Warmthwarm, close0.81

Lustre reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 90th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.46

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

Riskmid-range0.42

Lustre 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.

Texturedense0.75

Lustre feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is 93rd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.28

Lustre 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.
