What its composition says
- 11 materials declared, against 7.6 on average in the catalogue: the formula is fuller than usual.
- 5 materials in the base for 3 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.
- Pineapple: barely 3.1% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
- Sandalwood: conversely, a material of the common core — 29% of the catalogue contains it.
Frequencies measured on the Olfact catalogue only.
