It certainly has vanilla, spices, and citrus among its many notes, but I wonder how the other florals (tuberose / ylang) and the resinous / animatic notes come into the equation as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-60736801690522721872016-05-12T06:31:44.363+01:002016-05-12T06:31:44.363+01:00Oh, and for some years now we've been able to ...Oh, and for some years now we've been able to get the cane-sugar Cokes made in Mexico, in the old style glass bottles, in the US.
