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.
  • Tiaré flower: no other perfume page lists it — of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue, La Femme is the only one to use this material.
  • Vanilla: conversely, a material of the common core — 35% of the catalogue contains it.
  • Gourmand, floral and woody: 3 registers of raw materials share its palette, with gourmand supplying 3 of 7.
