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

Amber and vanilla anchor a warm, honeyed sweetness, with dried fruit and spice deepening the heart. It feels rich and slightly boozy, dense with warmth. An indulgent, wintry composition.

Found something that feels like home and never left.

Connection to home and your people is what you are all about. The fragrance found you as much as you found it. May those connections remain firm.

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

Riskmid-range0.43

Back to Black sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 78th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessgourmand0.84

Back to Black is openly sweet, in gourmand territory. That is 94th 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.
