What its composition says
- 4 materials in the base for 2 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.
- Amyris: a niche material, declared by only 11 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue.
- Vanilla: conversely, a material of the common core — 35% of the catalogue contains it.
- Gourmand, floral, woody and amber: 4 registers of raw materials share its palette, with gourmand supplying 3 of 8.
