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.
- Star anise: its rarest material, which only 28 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue contain — about one in 71.
- Amber: conversely, a material of the common core — 32% of the catalogue contains it.
- Woody, spicy, amber and floral: 4 registers of raw materials share its palette, with woody supplying 3 of 9.
