ChypreWhat does Zinnia smell like?
It opens with bergamot, neroli and mandarin orange, fresh and sparkling. In the heart, lily of the valley, rose and jasmine add a soft floral layer. Patchouli and amber in the base sweeten it slightly and ground it in a chypre character.
It is classed as a feminine scent. Voters find both longevity and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. Floris Chypress and Guerlain Muguet 2014 have a close profile.
