What its composition says

  • 2 materials on top, 2 in the heart, 3 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
  • Tobacco: barely 4.3% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
  • Sandalwood: conversely, a material of the common core — 29% of the catalogue contains it.
  • Woody and spicy: 2 registers of raw materials share its palette, with woody supplying 5 of 7.
