On Zenyra's five taste axes, Ultraviolet is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure, and carries across a room and announces itself.
Ultraviolet sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber.
Ultraviolet carries across a room and announces itself. That is 88th percentile for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Ultraviolet is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Ultraviolet sits mid-range on texture, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 35th percentile for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Ultraviolet carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 62nd 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.
