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.
  • Balsam: a niche material, declared by only 12 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue.
  • White musk: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 50% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
