CreamyWhat does Ylang Ylang Nosy Be (Eau de Parfum) smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it leans towards evenings, leisure time and nights out. In the character votes, feminine comes out ahead.
It opens fresh and lightly spicy with lemon, mint and cardamom. The heart turns creamy and floral with ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac and rose. The base of woody notes, musk, vanilla and amber softens it into a powdery, sweet finish.
