Ylang Ylang Nosy Be
Ylang Ylang Nosy Be by Perris Monte Carlo is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with lemon and mint, moves into ylang-ylang, rose and sambac jasmine and dries down to vanilla and musk. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Mint Cold and tingly. Great in small doses, toothpaste in large ones.
Heart
- Ylang-Ylang Banana-custard floral. Rich, tropical and slightly rubbery.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
