Ylang

5 perfumes

Derived from the steam-distilled yellow petals of the Cananga odorata tree, Ylang-Ylang is the 'flower of flowers.' Its olfactive profile is opulent, creamy, and solar, balancing narcotic jasmine-like sweetness with spicy, fruity banana undertones. Typically a heart note, it acts as a bridge between citrus and woody accords. In the Gulf, it is cherished for its exotic, intoxicating depth, often layered with rich Oudh or Taif rose to create a sophisticated, sultry sillage that resonates with traditional perfumery elegance.
