What its composition says
- 2 materials on top, 2 in the heart, 3 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
- Osmanthus: its rarest material, which only 37 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue contain — about one in 54.
- Vanilla: conversely, a material of the common core — 35% of the catalogue contains it.
- Gourmand, fruity and floral: 3 registers of raw materials share its palette, with gourmand supplying 3 of 7.
