What its composition says
- 4 materials in the base for 2 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.

- Bergamot: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 43% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
- Floral, gourmand, citrus, fruity and woody: 5 registers of raw materials share its palette, with floral supplying 3 of 9.
