What its composition says
- Only 4 materials declared, against 7.6 on average in the catalogue: the formula is tight.
- 2 materials in the heart, against 1 on top and 1 in the base: the heart carries the composition.
- Freesia: barely 3.1% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
- Rose: conversely, a material of the common core — 32% of the catalogue contains it.
