What its composition says

  • Only 4 materials declared, against 7.6 on average in the catalogue: the formula is tight.
  • 2 materials on top, 1 in the heart, 1 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
  • 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.
