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.
Modelled profile
Pepper sparks over incense, leather and amber, dark and resinous. Warm and smoky, it settles into a brooding, refined depth.

How Black smells, measured
On Zenyra's five taste axes, Black reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory, and keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere.
Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.
Black reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 90th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Black sits mid-range on projection. That is 39th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Black sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 87th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Black feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is 80th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Black 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.
