Empressa carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 72nd 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.
