What its composition says

  • 3 materials on top, 2 in the heart, 4 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
  • Tobacco: barely 4.3% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
  • Bergamot: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 43% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
  • Woody, citrus, spicy, leather and floral: 5 registers of raw materials share its palette, with woody supplying 3 of 9.
