Modelled profile
Peppery spice and apricot open over velvety violet and rose, settling into a warm amber-vanilla base with patchouli. It has a plush floriental character, projecting and soft-edged, the spice adding warmth.

How Ultraviolet smells, measured
On Zenyra's five taste axes, Ultraviolet is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure, and carries across a room and announces itself.
Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.

Ultraviolet carries across a room and announces itself. That is 88th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Ultraviolet is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Ultraviolet carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 57th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Ultraviolet carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 63rd 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.
