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
Cinnamon and tobacco leaf give a sweet-spiced warmth over cedar, vetiver and patchouli, with vanilla rounding the edges. It projects a polished woody-spicy character, dense but smooth, familiar in its comfort.

How Herod smells, measured
On Zenyra's five taste axes, Herod reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory, and feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there.
Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.
Herod reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 95th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Herod carries across a room and announces itself. That is among the highest in the catalogue for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Herod sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 42nd percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Herod feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is 94th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Herod carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 83rd 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.
