What its composition says

  • 16 materials declared, against 7.6 on average in the catalogue: the formula is fuller than usual.
  • 6 materials in the base for 4 on top: the pyramid is built for staying power rather than for the opening.
  • Snow: no other perfume page lists it — of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue, Snowy Owl is the only one to use this material.
  • White musk: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 50% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
