What does Zinnia smell like?

It opens with ylang-ylang, violet and galbanum, giving a green, fresh floral impression. The heart of orris root, lily of the valley and rose turns it powdery and soft. In the base, musk, vanilla and sandalwood sweeten it and close on a woody warmth, while the spicy accord stays in the background. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Lavande Velours and Korres Iris | Lily of the Valley | Cotton have a close profile.
