Modelled profile

Bitter orange over rose and vetiver, sharp and clean. Cool and pared back, it has the transparency of a good cologne with a woody trail.

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

Riskmid-range0.36

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

Texturebalanced0.42

Cologne Bigarade carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 22nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.20

Cologne Bigarade keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 14th 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.
