What its composition says

  • Only 5 materials declared, against 7.6 on average in the catalogue: the formula is tight.

  • Fig: its rarest material, which only 33 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue contain — about one in 60.
  • White musk: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 50% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
