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.

Reviewed profile

Rhubarb gives a tart, green-fruity opening, softened by daffodil's cool floral edge. Cashmeran wraps it in a warm, slightly musky wood, keeping the whole thing crisp and gently modern.

Reviewed profile. This profile has received a focused catalogue review.

Warmthtemperate0.40

Perfect sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 35th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.43

Perfect sits mid-range on projection. That is 24th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskfamiliar0.22

Perfect is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 21st percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.42

Perfect carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 22nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnesslightly sweet0.44

Perfect carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 61st 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.
