By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang bursts first, its banana-sweet oiliness sheened by magnolia's cool waxen petal, creating a heady tropical floral that feels almost lactonic. The heart is skipped; instead the flowers sink straight into a blond amber accord cushioned on creamy sandalwood, the wood's milky lactones fusing with the ylang's custard facet to amplify a coconut-cream impression. Clean white musks hover above the base, shearing off excess sugar and turning the amber transparent so the scent stays airy rather than syrupy. Over hours the magnolia recedes, leaving a soft suede of sandalwood-amber musk that radiates a low, solar warmth close to skin. Projection stays polite, a skin-to-intimate radius perfect for warm evenings or travel; longevity reaches 6-8 hours, the musk-sandal dry-down persisting through humid air.
