What does Accord No. 06: Ylang Ylang smell like?

Comorian ylang-ylang, Jasminum grandiflorum absolute and Damask rose absolute form a floral core. Geranium leaf and violet leaf give it a green, airy feel, while grapefruit zest and coriander add brightness. Cassia bark brings a spicy warmth, and Atlas cedar and vetiver set it on a woody base.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate. Most pick spring, followed by autumn and summer, and it leans towards leisure wear, then evenings. The largest share of voters finds it feminine, with a smaller group reading it as masculine.
