What its composition says

  • Tolu balsam: a niche material, declared by only 8 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue.
  • Vanilla: conversely, a material of the common core — 35% of the catalogue contains it.
  • Amber, gourmand, floral and woody: 4 registers of raw materials share its palette, with amber supplying 3 of 8.
