What its composition says
- 4 materials in the base for 1 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.
- Aldehydes: barely 2.9% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
- White musk: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 50% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
- Woody, musky and amber: 3 registers of raw materials share its palette, with woody supplying 3 of 6.
