Fragrance notes
Character
As I Wish: Ylang is a perfume for the woman who wants to feel wrapped in a sunny, tropical garden while walking through a crisp morning. The opening mango note is bright and juicy, immediately setting a cheerful tone that feels appropriate for a daytime stroll when the air still has a slight chill. This fruitiness quickly gives way to a heart of coconut water and ylang-ylang, creating a lush, dewy atmosphere. The tuberose adds a creamy weight to the center, ensuring the fragrance feels substantial rather than like a fleeting body mist.

It is a companion for moments when you want to feel polished and feminine, relying on the sweetness of the vanilla to carry the tropical notes into a more sophisticated space. The way the powdery musk interacts with the heady flowers suggests a warmth that lingers in the memory, inviting you to keep breathing in the delicious blend of fruit and
