Nuit D'Ylang
Fragrance notes
Character
Nuit D'Ylang opens with a sharp, cool lift from star anise paired with the tart red snap of pomegranate. The spice is immediate and crisp, while the fruit adds a clean brightness that keeps the opening from feeling heavy. This first impression is brief but distinct, setting a clear tone before the composition moves inward.
The heart settles on ylang-ylang. The flower arrives full and golden, carrying a rich, slightly oily texture that dominates the middle phase. It feels dense and warm, leaning into the yellow floral accord without becoming cloying. The transition from the spicy top to this rounded floral center feels smooth and deliberate.
The base brings nag champa and copaiba balm together with vanilla and musk. The nag champa adds a dry, resinous woodiness that grounds the sweetness, while the copaiba balm contributes a smooth balsamic depth. Vanilla softens the edges, and musk wraps the blend in a powdery finish that feels close and personal.
Together, the woody and floral accords create a warm, intimate atmosphere suited to evening wear. The anis and soft spicy elements linger beneath the surface, supporting the yellow floral heart. The scent feels complete and composed in low light, closing on the quiet comfort of vanilla.
