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

Saffron, mace and rose weave through benzoin, labdanum and agarwood, with leather and sandalwood grounding the base. A dense, resinous attar, it projects with a complex, smoky warmth that feels old-world and bold.

How Shamama Special smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Shamama Special feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there, and keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere.

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

Warmthtemperate0.55

Shamama Special sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 63rd percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionroom-filling0.70

Shamama Special carries across a room and announces itself. That is 88th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.64

Shamama Special sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is among the highest in the catalogue for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturedense0.85

Shamama Special feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is among the highest in the catalogue for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.20

Shamama Special 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.
