By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang opens with a rich, tropical floral character that is both sweet and slightly narcotic. Jasmine and freesia join quickly, amplifying the floral intensity with a green freshness and white floral creaminess. Iris contributes a powdery texture that softens the floral heart and adds a cosmetic-like elegance. Tonka bean introduces a sweet vanillic nuance that bridges into the base where amber provides warmth and musk adds a clean skin scent. Vetiver grounds the dry-down with an earthy, slightly grassy dryness that contrasts the floral sweetness. Projection is moderate and longevity is good, ideal for spring days or special occasions.
