The developer of this scent found the original in a Tunisia marketplace while vacationing there. It is an intoxicating blend that begins with floral notes of Tunisian jasmine petals, tuberose, and lily of the valley, followed by sweet grapes and berries with rich clove oil from Madagascar and Tahitian vanilla.
