What its composition says
- 3 materials in the base for 1 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.
- Styrax: its rarest material, which only 24 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue contain — about one in 83.
- Vanilla: conversely, a material of the common core — 35% of the catalogue contains it.
- Woody, spicy, amber and gourmand: 4 registers of raw materials share its palette, with woody supplying 2 of 6.
