Modelled profile
A cool, funereal bouquet: chrysanthemum and lily threaded with violet and plum, cypress and incense drifting like cold air. Melancholy and strangely serene.

The Signature
Unmistakable. Always has been.
You arrived with a signature and you've never needed to explain it. Consistency is its own kind of confidence. Some things become part of the room before you do.
How De Profundis smells, measured
On Zenyra's five taste axes, De Profundis keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and carries across a room and announces itself.
Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.

De Profundis carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 22nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.
De Profundis keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 5th 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.
