What its composition says
- 11 materials declared, against 7.6 on average in the catalogue: the formula is fuller than usual.
- 5 materials in the base for 3 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.
- Elemi: its rarest material, which only 30 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue contain — about one in 66.
- Bergamot: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 43% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
