What its composition says

  • Pine: a niche material, declared by only 14 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue.
  • Sandalwood: conversely, a material of the common core — 29% of the catalogue contains it.
  • Woody, spicy, leather and floral: 4 registers of raw materials share its palette, with woody supplying 4 of 8.
