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 isn't your flashy, bombastic tuberose. Many find it a polite, softer floral, almost an abstraction of tuberose, while still retaining a certain 'I've arrived' presence. The real tragedy is it's been discontinued now.
