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.

Reviewed profile

Balsam fir and thyme give a cool, coniferous freshness, threaded with cade oil and tobacco for a leathery, tarry smokiness. Herbal and dry, it feels rugged and outdoorsy, more distinctive than easy, with a wild green edge.

How Holysm smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Holysm keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber.

Reviewed profile. This profile has received a focused catalogue review.

Warmthtemperate0.42

Holysm sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 38th percentile for warmth across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.48

Holysm sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle.

Riskmid-range0.50

Holysm sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 89th percentile for risk across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.52

Holysm carries body without weight, present without filling a room. That is 57th percentile for texture across 5,320 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.22

Holysm keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 25th percentile for sweetness across 5,320 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.
