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

Bitter grapefruit and tarragon over oakmoss and musk, sharp and herbal. It is cool and bracing, a green-citrus splash with a dry, mossy backbone.

The individuality is in the detail.

It won't be on anyone's list. That's exactly why it's on yours. The detail always reveals the truth.

How Iskander smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Iskander keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin.

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

Warmthcool, open0.18

Iskander reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.43

Iskander sits mid-range on projection. That is 24th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.38

Iskander sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 63rd percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturesheer0.28

Iskander sits light in the air, close to the skin and easy to miss. That is 10th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.10

Iskander keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 5th 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.
