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

An inky, mineral darkness of ambergris and opoponax under smoky incense. It reads as salt and shadow, warm resins meeting something briny and strange, dense and slow to unfold.

The Deep Reach

Richer than most would reach for.

The depth here isn't accidental. Layer after layer, worn close, revealed slowly. This is what it looks like when someone really goes there.

How Squid smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Squid reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory, and feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there.

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

Warmthwarm, close0.81

Squid reads warm and close to the skin, in amber and resin territory. That is 90th percentile for warmth across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projectionmid-range0.51

Squid sits mid-range on projection. That is 57th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskpolarising0.70

Squid divides opinion by design. That is among the highest in the catalogue for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturedense0.72

Squid feels thick in the air, saturated and physically there. That is 80th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.28

Squid keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is 30th 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.
