Modelled profile
Raw honey turned dry and animalic over smoky guaiac wood and beeswax. Divisive and strange, waxy and almost feral, iris cooling the edges.

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.

Miel de Bois divides opinion by design. That is among the highest in the catalogue for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Miel de Bois carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 76th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Miel de Bois carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 63rd 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.
