Bergamot and grapefruit open fresh over blackcurrant bud and vetiver, drying into cashmere wood and ambergris. It feels cool, green and woody, a crisp citrus-aromatic that stays light and clean.

Experienced differently as time goes on.
The complexity is there for those who stay with it. Layered, deliberate, quietly evolving. Some kinds of presence take time to understand.

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Perseus keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin.
Perseus reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin. That is 7th percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Perseus sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle.
Perseus sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available.
Perseus sits mid-range on texture, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 76th percentile for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Perseus keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 13th 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.
