A vast, living tuberose kept fresh by a green stem and lifted by coconut and musk. It reads at once creamy and dewy, the white flower rendered radiant.

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Carnal Flower carries across a room and announces itself, and carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.

Carnal Flower carries across a room and announces itself. That is 88th percentile for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Carnal Flower sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 92nd percentile for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Carnal Flower sits mid-range on texture, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 86th percentile for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Carnal Flower carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 77th percentile for sweetness across 5,322 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.
