Description

If “Tropical” is a magical word evoking dazzling light as well as darkness and mystery, Nosy Be Ylang Ylang is surely its fragrance. Intense and enveloping, when Ylang Ylang oxidizes, it releases unmistakable animal notes. This variety is unrivalled in its intensity: as though nature had set out to create a fragrance by blending the traditional and the new. Notes of white flowers like Tuberose and Sambac Jasmine distinguish its sensual, fruity, exotic character, perfect for those attracted by life’s dream-like qualities. Citrus and Cardamom light up the dark, romantic landscape for a moment. Then Amber and other seductive, woody notes prevail. And the dream goes on.


"Perpetually-perfumed’, ‘eternally-surrounded-by-sweetness’. As soon as we set foot on land, we invent names to describe Nosy Be. We arrive by plane, not by sailboat. But the deliciously sweet perfume must be the same that sailors could smell from miles away: the Ylang Ylang tree flowers all year round.”

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
