Cool mint and pepper open over vetiver, with vanilla sweetening the dry-down. It swings between crisp and warm, green up top and soft below. A distinctive aromatic with a sweet, woody heart.

How Ultraviolet Man smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Ultraviolet Man is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure, and reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory.

Warmthwarm, close0.76

Ultraviolet Man reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 79th percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.60

Ultraviolet Man sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 75th percentile for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Riskfamiliar0.17

Ultraviolet Man is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 7th percentile for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Textureseamless0.25

Ultraviolet Man arrives seamless, as a single impression rather than parts. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessgourmand0.68

Ultraviolet Man is openly sweet, in gourmand territory. That is 84th 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.
