What its composition says
- 15 materials declared, against 7.6 on average in the catalogue: the formula is fuller than usual.
- 7 materials in the base for 4 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.
- Hyraceum: a niche material, declared by only 3 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue.
- Amber: conversely, a material of the common core — 32% of the catalogue contains it.
Frequencies measured on the Olfact catalogue only.
