How Matière Noire smells, measured
On Zenyra's five taste axes, Matière Noire reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory, and carries sweetness without letting it define the scent.
Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.
Matière Noire reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 77th percentile for warmth across 5,320 scored fragrances.
Matière Noire 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 75th percentile for projection across 5,320 scored fragrances.
Matière Noire sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 88th percentile for risk across 5,320 scored fragrances.
Matière Noire carries body without weight, present without filling a room. That is 76th percentile for texture across 5,320 scored fragrances.
Matière Noire carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 62nd percentile for sweetness across 5,320 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.
