These describe how the fragrance is generally reported to behave. Skin chemistry, weather and how much you apply all change it, so your own experience may differ.

Modelled profile

Grapefruit lifting a dry vetiver, with amberwood and oakmoss adding a mossy base. Cool and restrained, it carries a little further than the original while keeping the same crisp woody character.

How Grey Vetiver smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Grey Vetiver keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure.

Modelled profile. This profile is derived from the evidence currently available and may be refined over time.

Warmthtemperate0.35

Projectionmid-range0.52

Riskfamiliar0.32

Grey Vetiver is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 40th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.45

Grey Vetiver carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 42nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.05

Grey Vetiver keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is among the lowest in the catalogue 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.
