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.

Reviewed profile

Citron and juniper open crisp over lavender and geranium, with nutmeg adding spice before sandalwood, patchouli and Ambrox settle the base. It reads cool, dry and woody-aromatic, clean and understated.

How Valero smells, measured

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

Reviewed profile. This profile has received a focused catalogue review.

Warmthcool, open0.29

Valero reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin. That is 18th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.55

Valero sits mid-range on projection. That is 66th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.43

Valero sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 78th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.45

Valero carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 42nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.20

Valero keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 14th 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.
