What its composition says
- 3 materials in the base for 1 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.
- Honey: barely 3.5% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
- Amber: conversely, a material of the common core — 32% of the catalogue contains it.
- Floral, woody, gourmand and amber: 4 registers of raw materials share its palette, with floral supplying 2 of 6.
