4.27community rating

A vintage-style chypre built on oakmoss, with kaffir lime and basil giving a sharp green top. Jasmine and ylang soften the middle before leather, civet and spices turn it dark and animalic, dense and challenging in an old-school way.

The Considered Statement

Makes a statement worth asking about.

Unusual enough to stop someone mid-thought. Considered enough to keep them there. The question it raises is the point.

How Chypre-Siam unisex smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Chypre-Siam unisex keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears.

Warmthtemperate0.50

Chypre-Siam unisex sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber.

Projectionmid-range0.64

Chypre-Siam unisex sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 82nd percentile for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Riskpolarising0.72

Chypre-Siam unisex divides opinion by design. That is among the highest in the catalogue for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Textureexposed0.74

Chypre-Siam unisex leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears. That is among the highest in the catalogue for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.20

Chypre-Siam unisex keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 13th 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.
