A more tempered patchouli, still earthy and dark but softened by styrax and vanilla. Birch lends a faint smoky edge without overwhelming. Rich and grounded, easier to wear than its tarry sibling.

How Patchouli 29 smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Patchouli 29 reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory, and leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears.

Warmthwarm, close0.72

Patchouli 29 reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 76th percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.43

Patchouli 29 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 22nd percentile for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.50

Patchouli 29 sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 89th percentile for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Textureexposed0.68

Patchouli 29 leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears. That is 94th percentile for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Sweetnesslightly sweet0.36

Patchouli 29 carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.

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.
