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 leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears.

Warmthtemperate0.59

Santal 26 sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 66th percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.62

Santal 26 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 79th percentile for projection across 5,322 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 5,322 scored fragrances.

Textureexposed0.73

Santal 26 leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears. That is among the highest in the catalogue for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.20

Santal 26 keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 13th percentile for sweetness across 5,322 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.
