By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang opens with its tropical floral sweetness immediately met by rose's velvety depth, creating a rich floral introduction. Saffron threads through the heart with warm spicy nuances that intertwine with sandalwood's creamy woodiness and cedar's drier aromatic support. Leather emerges in the base with a supple texture that blends into amber's resinous warmth and patchouli's earthy grounding, while musk provides a soft skin-adherent finish. The composition evolves from opulent florals to a sophisticated leather-amber dry-down over several hours. Projection remains moderate with intimate sillage after initial wear, lasting well through evening events in cooler seasons.
