By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang dominates the heart, pouring out a custard-rich banana sweetness that turns slightly medicinal as it warms. Orange blossom rides alongside, adding soap-clean lift so the custard never cloys, while white floral lactones stretch the texture into oily silk. Amber in the base acts as a brown-sugar glaze, softening the ylang’s rubber edge and giving the composition a rounded, caramelly warmth. Vanilla arrives last, not as frosting but as a faint puff of marshmallow that keeps the amber from turning too dry or incense-like. The scent stays linear: what you smell at ten minutes is what you’ll smell at six hours, only quieter and closer to the skin. Projection hovers at arm’s length for the first three hours, then collapses to a warm skin whiff perfect for close-contact fall evenings or layered winter sweaters.
