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

Cedar and sandalwood form a smoky, leathery core, softened by iris and violet. Amber and musk add warmth while cardamom flickers at the top. Textured and worn-in, with a quiet animal warmth.

How Santal 26 smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Santal 26 keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there.

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

Warmthtemperate0.59

Santal 26 sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 70th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.62

Santal 26 sits mid-range on projection. That is 79th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.42

Santal 26 sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 69th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturedense0.72

Santal 26 feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is 80th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.20

Santal 26 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.
