What its composition says

- 1 material on top, 1 in the heart, 2 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
- Caramel: barely 3.1% 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.
