Modelled profile
A lush, creamy floral bouquet of rose, jasmine, ylang and lilac over a chypre base of patchouli, moss and vetiver. Red berries and vanilla soften the edges, making something opulent and full-bodied, sweet but grounded.

How Begum smells, measured

Begum carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 83rd 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.
