Note

Madagascar Ylang-Ylang

Carried by 2 fragrances in this catalogue

Madagascar Ylang-Ylang smells of white flowers, and is almost always printed in the heart.

What it is

It sits on white flowers.
Every fragrance here is measured on the same twenty-four axes.
How loud ordinary
It sits about where an average perfumery material sits.
How long it lasts middling
Still audible through the heart of a wearing.

Fragrances carrying it

The ones this site knows most about come first.
