By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang opens with tropical sweetness, immediately softened by bright citrus accents from bergamot and lemon. Jasmine and rose emerge within minutes, creating a lush floral heart that violet renders slightly powdery. Sandalwood provides creamy warmth in the base, where vanilla adds gentle sweetness and patchouli contributes earthy depth. The dry-down becomes a soft, woody floral with vanillic undertones that linger close to skin. Projection remains moderate for the first hour before settling into an intimate aura. This composition suits evening wear in cooler seasons, particularly fall and winter occasions.
