What its composition says
- 13 materials declared, against 7.6 on average in the catalogue: the formula is fuller than usual.
- 5 materials in the base for 3 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.
- Eucalyptus: a niche material, declared by only 9 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue.
- White musk: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 50% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
Frequencies measured on the Olfact catalogue only.
