By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang bursts open with custard-rich banana facets, its oily sweetness pierced by cardamom’s cool eucalyptus sting. Galbanum slices through the tropical cream with raw-green sap, creating a jagged vegetal frame that keeps the ylang from cloying while a muted rose adds thin pink threads rather than full bloom. The leather base is smooth calfskin, not tar; it arrives early, quietly stretching the yellow floral until the composition reads like suede gloves pressed against sun-warmed skin. Wear stays close, projecting an arm’s-length aura for six hours, perfect for cool spring offices or intimate evening events where you want polish without announcement.
