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

Sharp stems and crushed leaf give way to a dark tuberose wrapped in leather and styrax. The green edge stays bitter and vegetal throughout, making this feel deliberately difficult and dense.

The Considered Statement

Makes a statement worth asking about.

Unusual enough to stop someone mid-thought. Considered enough to keep them there. The question it raises is the point.

How Nuit de Bakélite smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Nuit de Bakélite divides opinion by design, and keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere.

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

Warmthtemperate0.45

Nuit de Bakélite sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 42nd percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionroom-filling0.68

Nuit de Bakélite carries across a room and announces itself. That is 86th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskpolarising0.75

Nuit de Bakélite divides opinion by design. That is among the highest in the catalogue for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.62

Nuit de Bakélite carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 76th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.28

Nuit de Bakélite keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 30th 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.
