What its composition says

  • 2 materials on top, 2 in the heart, 2 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
  • Honey: barely 3.5% 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.
  • Gourmand, aromatic and amber: 3 registers of raw materials share its palette, with gourmand supplying 3 of 6.
