What its composition says
- 4 materials in the base for 2 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.

- White musk: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 50% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
- Spicy, gourmand, floral, woody, amber, musky and aromatic: 7 registers of raw materials share its palette, with spicy supplying 2 of 9.
