Al Contrario sits mid-range on texture, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 57th percentile for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.
Al Contrario is openly sweet, in gourmand territory. That is 88th 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.
