What its composition says

  • Juniper: barely 3.2% 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.
  • Woody, spicy, musky, amber, aromatic and citrus: 6 registers of raw materials share its palette, with woody supplying 2 of 7.
