What it smells like
The Scent File profile
Ylang ylang opens loud and almost medicinal, that rubbery-floral heaviness softened quickly by jasmine pulling it toward something warmer and more wearable. The heart settles into a papyrus dryness that keeps the florals from going full-on boudoir — earthy, slightly smoky, grounding. The dry-down is where opoponax and myrrh do the real work: a resinous, amber-tinged sweetness that glows rather than shouts, with moderate sillage that stays close to skin after a few hours. — Autumn and winter evenings, for anyone who wants florals with genuine shadow and weight.
