What its composition says

  • 2 materials on top, 2 in the heart, 3 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
  • Ambergris: barely 3.8% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
  • Vanilla: conversely, a material of the common core — 35% of the catalogue contains it.
  • Floral, gourmand, aromatic, citrus and amber: 5 registers of raw materials share its palette, with floral supplying 2 of 7.
