Ylang Ylang
Fragrance notes
Character
Ylang Ylang can feel like a difficult puzzle when you first meet it. The mix of raspberry, apricot, and cotton candy brings a bright, sugary fruitiness that some will find too playful for a serious wardrobe. It sits heavily on the skin with a thick sweetness that does not lift or breathe. This density is the price of its character. You get patchouli and frankincense grounding the fruit, while leather and musk add a dark, resinous weight. It is a bold composition that refuses to soften its edges for a casual wearer.
Picture a dim room with heavy curtains drawn against the chill outside, a space filled with warm wood and burning resin. This fragrance fits that enclosed, cozy atmosphere perfectly. The white floral touch of lily-of-the-valley is buried deep under the amber and warm spicy accords, offering little freshness. It is a scent for someone who enjoys a rich, almost sticky gourmand paired with rugged leather. The overall impression is dense and unapologetic. It leaves you with the distinct scent of leather.
