By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang dominates from the start with its tropical, banana-like sweetness and floral richness. Pineapple and yuzu add a subtle fruity tang that brightens the composition without overpowering the floral core. Amber provides a warm, resinous base that enhances the scent's sweetness and longevity. Musk contributes a clean skin-scent quality that softens the intensity of the florals. Violet adds a powdery nuance that complements ylang-ylang's creamy texture. The fragrance remains largely linear, projecting a moderate sillage that suits warm weather occasions. Best worn in summer or on tropical evenings where its floral-fruity character feels most appropriate.
