By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang opens buttery and solar, its custard richness immediately folded into tart black-currant bud that bites back with green-catty edges. Bergamot flashes quickly, then the flower’s custardy lactones swell, turning almost banana-cream sweet before incense smoke billows up through the heart, drying the petals to a papery leather. Vetiver threads cool, rooty smoke into the vanilla-patchouli duet of the base, grounding the dessert-like sweetness in damp earth and charred wood. On skin the scent swings between tropical cream and cold campfire, the currant’s tang lingering as a violet shadow that keeps the gourmand lane from cloying. Projection sits at arm’s length for six hours, then collapses into a smoky vanilla skin veil that favors cool fall nights and dark silk scarves.
