Ylang Feast
Fragrance notes
Character
Ylang Feast opens with a hurdle. The indole and civet in the base are present from the first spray, and they bring a dirty, animalic edge that will put some wearers off before the fruit even registers. This is not a clean, polite floral. The bitter orange and bergamot try to lift the composition, but the pomegranate and peach sit heavy underneath, dripping with a syrupy sweetness that feels dense rather than bright.
Coriander and tarragon twist through the heart, giving the ylang-ylang and jasmine a savory, slightly medicinal bite. It smells like a dimly lit lounge where the air is thick with smoke and spilled cognac. The vanilla tries to smooth the roughness, but the oakmoss and vetiver keep the texture dry and earthy. Castoreum adds a leathery warmth that clings to the skin like a heavy coat. This is a fragrance for those who enjoy the tension between a tropical fruit salad and a murky forest floor. The powdery musk and myrrh linger long after the sharp spices fade, leaving a sweet, musky trail.
