Its heart then unfolds with the floral elegance of Tunisian orange blossom, blended with Madagascan ylang ylang and the green, resinous nuances of Persian galbanum. Its base brings warming ambroxan, silky cashmere wood and sensual white musk, which add depth and a lasting impression to the fragrance.
