By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang introduces a rich, tropical floral character that feels both sweet and slightly indolic. Incense and clove quickly intertwine, adding a smoky warmth and soft-spicy sharpness that contrasts with the floral heart. Benzoin lends a vanillic resinous quality that smooths the transition into the base where sandalwood and oud provide a dry, woody foundation. Amber envelops the dry-down, creating a sweet, balsamic finish that lingers with moderate sillage. The scent evolves noticeably, moving from floral-spicy to a resinous-woody accord over several hours. Longevity is strong, making it suitable for fall and winter evenings or special events in cool conditions.
