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.
  • Bergamot: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 43% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
  • Woody, amber, floral, citrus and spicy: 5 registers of raw materials share its palette, with woody supplying 3 of 7.

Frequencies measured on the Olfact catalogue only.
