What does Ylang smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. The vote count is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes, but the fresh, floral build suggests easy everyday wear. It sits comfortably on both men and women.

It opens with ylang-ylang and jasmine sambac in front. In the heart, tuberose and peach blossom soften the florals and make them sweeter. The base of musk, vanilla and orange blossom settles into a powdery, creamy warmth, with a faint spicy edge in the background. Harry Lehmann Hyazinthe and L'Erbolario Iris have a close profile.
