By the editors · 2 min readYlang in Gold Nectar opens unusually — sage and rosemary with a soft peach — and the herbs read more Mediterranean than apothecary, dry and slightly silvered. The heart is where the perfume names itself: ylang-ylang in full bloom, magnolia and rose flanking it, lily of the valley keeping the floral airy rather than tropical.
The drydown turns creamy. Coconut and vanilla over sandalwood give the ylang a body without tipping into suntan-lotion territory; mint loops back briefly to cool the warmth. Musk closes it. The structure is more developed than most of the house's florals, with three distinct chapters that hold their shape across the day.
