Madagascan Ylang-Ylang
42 perfumes
Sourced from the star-shaped flowers of the Cananga odorata tree in Madagascar, this essence is steam-distilled to capture its solar, narcotic richness. It offers a creamy, tropical profile with nuances of jasmine, banana, and spicy carnation. Primarily a heart note, it provides a lush, floral bridge between fresh tops and deep bases. In Gulf perfumery, its opulent, honeyed sweetness harmonizes beautifully with heavy ouds and ambers, adding a sophisticated, radiant luminosity that resonates with the region’s love for intensity.
