Modelled profile
Lavender leads over mandarin and bergamot, with geranium and violet adding a soft floral edge. It projects a clean, cool aromatic character, bright and airy, warm only in its herbal fullness.

The Soft Presence
Warm enough to feel right. Easy enough to forget.
Some choices just work. This one keeps working. The best kind of invisible.
How Percival smells, measured
On Zenyra's five taste axes, Percival sits light in the air, close to the skin and easy to miss, 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.
Percival sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber.
Percival carries across a room and announces itself. That is 89th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Percival sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available.
Percival sits light in the air, close to the skin and easy to miss. That is 10th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Percival keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 42nd 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.
