Clove, saffron and cumin lead heavily spiced into heliotrope, iris and honeyed florals, with smoke and oud smoldering below. Powdery and dark at once, it drapes soft blossom over a smoky, resinous woodiness.

The Considered Statement

Makes a statement worth asking about.

Unusual enough to stop someone mid-thought. Considered enough to keep them there. The question it raises is the point.

How Moth smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Moth leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears, and divides opinion by design.

Warmthtemperate0.59

Moth sits temperate, built on woods and soft musk rather than amber. That is 66th percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.66

Moth sits mid-range on projection, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 84th percentile for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Riskpolarising0.75

Moth divides opinion by design. That is among the highest in the catalogue for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Textureexposed0.76

Moth leaves its components exposed, shifting as it wears. That is among the highest in the catalogue for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.28

Moth keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 29th percentile for sweetness across 5,322 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.
