Antonio Puig Zinnia - a time-tested fragrance for women, created in 1990 by Douglas Cope from restored archives of the mid-18th century. It belongs to the floral fragrance family. This delicate scent unfolds with whimsical notes of violet, galbanum, and ylang-ylang, followed by heart notes of rose, lily, and orris root, and finishes with notes of sandalwood, vanilla, and musk. Interestingly, ylang-ylang, which translates from Filipino as "fluttering", is considered an aphrodisiac and used in wedding ceremonies, while galbanum is an ingredient so ancient it was mentioned in the Old Testament and Egyptian manuscripts. Natural sandalwood oil is quite a costly component due to its brink of extinction.
