What its composition says

  • Only 4 materials declared, against 7.6 on average in the catalogue: the formula is tight.
  • 2 materials on top, 1 in the heart, 1 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
  • Rhubarb: its rarest material, which only 22 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue contain — about one in 90.
  • Bergamot: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 43% of the analysed perfumes contain it.

Frequencies measured on the Olfact catalogue only.
