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

Deep oud and dark wood form a dry, brooding core, with rose lending a shadowed floral thread. Barely sweet at all, it stays resinous and grave, the warmth coming entirely from the wood.

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

Intense Black Aoud sits mid-range on projection. That is 57th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.42

Intense Black Aoud 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.

Texturedense0.85

Intense Black Aoud feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is among the highest in the catalogue for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnesslightly sweet0.45

Intense Black Aoud 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.
