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
A bright spread of orange, lime, lemon and grapefruit meets ginger and cypress. Zesty and cool with a woody-green finish, it stays crisp throughout. Clean and energetic.

The Signature
Unmistakable. Always has been.
You arrived with a signature and you've never needed to explain it. Consistency is its own kind of confidence. Some things become part of the room before you do.
How Dark Blue smells, measured
On Zenyra's five taste axes, Dark Blue is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure, 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.
Dark Blue reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin. That is 20th percentile for warmth across 5,320 scored fragrances.
Dark Blue sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 39th percentile for projection across 5,320 scored fragrances.
Dark Blue is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for risk across 5,320 scored fragrances.
Dark Blue sits light in the air, close to the skin and easy to miss. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for texture across 5,320 scored fragrances.
Dark Blue keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 14th percentile for sweetness across 5,320 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.
