Every bottle leaves with its sheet. It says everything: what you answered, the materials chosen, their exact proportion, and the reason for each one. This one belongs to a bottle that has already shipped. The answers are someone else’s — yours will look nothing like this.

Autumn and night pull the formula downwards: forty per cent base is a lot, and it is deliberate. The perfume had to hold after dinner, not only on the way out of the bathroom.
Silk, for its part, ruled out dry wood. Sandalwood therefore comes first in the base, milky rather than smoky, and it is the iris — the most expensive material on this sheet — that gives it the cool powdery edge people mistake for softness.
What was left was to avoid being well behaved. Six per cent pink pepper over the bergamot: the first ten minutes sting slightly before the jasmine opens. At an intensity of 7 out of 10, that is what makes people turn around without knowing why.
This sheet is an example of the format. The proportions shown correspond to a typical woody floral composition; yours will be recalculated from your own answers, and no formula is ever made twice.
