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

Beeswax and honey run through mimosa and orange blossom over a warm base of benzoin, tonka and labdanum. It's a golden, honeyed floral, rich and rounded, the amber and vanilla giving it real weight without tipping into cloying.

The Unexpected Sweet

Unexpected and sweet. Not sorry about either.

The combination shouldn't work. And yet here it is. That discovery is the whole point.

How Bee smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Bee reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory, and is openly sweet, in gourmand territory.

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

Warmthwarm, close0.72

Bee reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 81st percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.66

Bee sits mid-range on projection. That is 84th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskmid-range0.66

Bee sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is among the highest in the catalogue for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.58

Bee carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 72nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessgourmand0.70

Bee is openly sweet, in gourmand territory. That is 89th 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.
