What its composition says

  • Only 5 materials declared, against 7.6 on average in the catalogue: the formula is tight.
  • 1 material on top, 2 in the heart, 2 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
  • Tea: barely 3.0% 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.
