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

Crisp apple and ginger meet sage and juniper over a bracing herbal-citrus lift. It feels cool and modern, the fruit kept sheer, geranium adding a faint floral edge to an otherwise clean, sporty shape.

The Soft Presence

Warm enough to feel right. Easy enough to forget.

Some choices just work. This one keeps working. The best kind of invisible.

How Y EDT smells, measured

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

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

Warmthtemperate0.55

Y EDT sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 63rd percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.45

Y EDT sits mid-range on projection. That is 34th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskfamiliar0.17

Y EDT is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 7th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturesheer0.22

Y EDT sits light in the air, close to the skin and easy to miss. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.20

Y EDT 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.
