Modelled profile
Dry leather over patchouli and vetiver, with styrax lending a resinous warmth. It reads sober and slightly rugged, a leather with earth beneath it. Composed and vintage in feel, holding close.

How Bel Ami smells, measured
On Zenyra's five taste axes, Bel Ami keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there.

Bel Ami keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is among the lowest in the catalogue 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.
