Which Should You Buy?
Ylang 49 is a divisive, full-bodied chypre floral. It's a proper grown-up scent for those who crave a bit of vintage drama, but beware: its potent sillage and enduring power aren't for the faint-hearted. It’s either a grand statement or a headache waiting to happen.
This flanker to the original Le Parfum is a divisive white floral experience - some find it a glorious, luminous bouquet, while others are put off by a perceived bitterness or cloying sweetness. Expect compliments, or perhaps, a few puzzled expressions.
