Reviewed profile

Amber and gurjan balsam pour over cedar and Laotian oud, with musk smoothing the edges. Deeply warm and dry, it feels dark and woody, a spare composition that leans on resin and wood.

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

Kampuchea Noir reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is among the highest in the catalogue for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.48

Kampuchea Noir sits mid-range on projection.

Riskmid-range0.42

Kampuchea Noir sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 69th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturedense0.78

Kampuchea Noir feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is 94th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.20

Kampuchea Noir 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.
