What its composition says

  • 4 materials in the base for 1 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.
  • Myrrh: its rarest material, which only 40 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue contain — about one in 50.
  • Amber: conversely, a material of the common core — 32% of the catalogue contains it.
  • Amber, woody, spicy and floral: 4 registers of raw materials share its palette, with amber supplying 3 of 7.
