"Ruffles is a rich, ornate feminine floral fragrance introduced in 1983. Its character opens with aldehydic brightness, citrus, green nuances, and fruity tones. The heart is an expansive floral bouquet featuring white flowers, rose, carnation, iris, orchid, and ylang-ylang. A sweet, warm base of caramel, honey, vanilla, woods, musk, and civet gives the fragrance its opulent vintage character. The composition reflects the grand, expressive style associated with many prominent 1980s perfumes. It is best suited to wearers who enjoy dramatic floral fragrances with noticeable depth and presence."
