CreamyWhat does Ylang in Gold (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Most voters call Ylang in Gold feminine, and both its longevity and sillage are rated good. Votes lean slightly towards spring and summer, though fall is picked too. It is suggested about equally for leisure, evenings and nights out.
It opens with orange, geranium and mugwort. The heart brings magnolia, rose, ylang-ylang and lily of the valley, softened by sandalwood. In the dry-down, vanilla, musk and coconut pull it towards a powdery, fruity, gourmand sweetness. M. Micallef Ylang in Gold Nectar and Jean Couturier Vanilla Exotica have a close profile.
