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

Bright passionfruit and bitter orange over a whisper of cacao, tart and slightly bittersweet. It reads juicy and unusual, fruit given a dry cocoa edge. Fresh and distinctive, with a low-key warmth.

The individuality is in the detail.

It won't be on anyone's list. That's exactly why it's on yours. The detail always reveals the truth.

How Vetiver smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Vetiver keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and sits light in the air, close to the skin and easy to miss.

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

Warmthcool, open0.29

Vetiver reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin. That is 18th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.48

Vetiver sits mid-range on projection.

Riskmid-range0.44

Vetiver sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 84th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturesheer0.28

Vetiver sits light in the air, close to the skin and easy to miss. That is 10th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.05

Vetiver 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.
