What its composition says
- 3 materials in the base for 1 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.
- Nutmeg: barely 3.5% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
- White musk: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 50% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
- Floral, leather, musky, amber, woody, gourmand and spicy: 7 registers of raw materials share its palette, with floral supplying 2 of 8.
Frequencies measured on the Olfact catalogue only.
