What its composition says

  • Pear: barely 3.8% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
  • Patchouli: conversely, a material of the common core — 26% of the catalogue contains it.
  • Woody, floral, leather, fruity, spicy and aromatic: 6 registers of raw materials share its palette, with woody supplying 2 of 7.
