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.

Sandalwood softened with milk and iris. Creamy, quiet, comfortable.

The Soft Presence

Warm enough to feel right. Easy enough to forget.

Some choices just work. This one keeps working. The best kind of invisible.

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

Warmthtemperate0.58

Santal Calling sits mid-range on projection.

Riskmid-range0.37

Santal Calling sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available.

Texturebalanced0.52

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

Sweetnesslightly sweet0.48

Santal Calling carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 67th 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.
