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

Saffron and rose laid over agarwood, with myrrh and labdanum deepening the base into something dense and resinous. Carnation and jasmine give it a spiced floral heart, and it projects with a rich, oriental confidence.

The Slow Depth

A rich and warm centre of gravity. Change is part of the journey.

Everything around you may shift but this stays constant. The depth here takes time. It opens slowly and rewards patience. Some things get richer the longer you stay.

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

Warmthwarm, close0.76

Projectionroom-filling0.72

As Sawira carries across a room and announces itself. That is 91st percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.52

As Sawira sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 92nd percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturedense0.78

As Sawira feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is 94th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.28

As Sawira keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 30th 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.
