What its composition says
- 2 materials on top, 2 in the heart, 3 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
- Pear: barely 3.8% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
- Vanilla: conversely, a material of the common core — 35% of the catalogue contains it.
- Floral, leather, fruity, aromatic, woody, spicy and gourmand: 7 registers of raw materials share its palette, with floral supplying 1 of 7.
