It is described as a burst of muguet, jasmine, tuberose, French honeysuckle, frangipani and mirabelle plum, bright green notes deepened with woodsy oakmoss and vetiver for youthful freshness and exuberance, combined with amber add warmth and depth. It mingles with your body chemistry to produce a truly feminine, floral complex, rich, redolent and provocative. This is a classic vibrant 1980s powerhouse floral fragrance.
