How The Impudent Cousin Matthew smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, The Impudent Cousin Matthew keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and stays close to the skin, worn for the wearer first.

Warmthcool, open0.21

The Impudent Cousin Matthew reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin. That is 4th percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projectionskin-close0.13

The Impudent Cousin Matthew stays close to the skin, worn for the wearer first. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.43

The Impudent Cousin Matthew sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 78th percentile for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Texturemid-range0.51

The Impudent Cousin Matthew 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 57th percentile for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.10

The Impudent Cousin Matthew keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 4th 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.
