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

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Miel de Bois divides opinion by design, and leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears.
Miel de Bois sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 71st percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Miel de Bois sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle.
Miel de Bois divides opinion by design. That is among the highest in the catalogue for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Miel de Bois leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears. That is 96th percentile for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Miel de Bois carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 62nd 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.
