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.
- Guaiac wood: barely 3.8% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
- White musk: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 50% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
- Woody, spicy and musky: 3 registers of raw materials share its palette, with woody supplying 4 of 7.
Frequencies measured on the Olfact catalogue only.
