What does Ylang-Ylang Espresso smell like?

Tiramisu, espresso bean and cocoa build a sweet, creamy gourmand base, while ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose add a soft floral layer. Sichuan pepper brings spice, and patchouli and gaiac wood give it an earthy, smoky depth. Tangerine adds a light touch of freshness, but the sweetness clearly dominates.

Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards nights out, evenings and leisure time. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. The largest share of voters finds it feminine, though it is presented as unisex. Hendley Perfumes Auric and Guerlain Fève Gourmande have a close profile.
