How Un Bois Sepia smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Un Bois Sepia 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.

Warmthtemperate0.46

Un Bois Sepia sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber.

Projectionroom-filling0.79

Un Bois Sepia carries across a room and announces itself. That is among the highest in the catalogue for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.50

Un Bois Sepia sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 89th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.52

Un Bois Sepia carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 57th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.20

Un Bois Sepia 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.
