What its composition says
- 2 materials on top, 2 in the heart, 2 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
- Tea: barely 3.0% 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.
- Citrus, woody, aromatic, spicy and musky: 5 registers of raw materials share its palette, with citrus supplying 2 of 6.
