Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco | 20
Maldives in a Bottle Ylang Coco | 20 by Kayali is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum in the designer price tier. It opens with lemon, starfruit and rosemary, moves into ylang-ylang, mimosa and frangipani and dries down to coconut, sandalwood, vanilla and guaiac wood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects strongly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Starfruit Watery, green-tart tropical fruit. Common in nineties aquatics.
- Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
Heart
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Mimosa Soft, powdery, honeyed yellow flower. Gentle and comforting.
- Frangipani Creamy tropical floral. Suncream adjacent.
Dry-down
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
