Which Should You Buy?
Yara Moi is truly a 'love-it-or-hate-it' scent, divisive among even seasoned fragrance fans. For some it's a creamy, sophisticated floral with impressive longevity, for others, it's a scrubber with an unshakeable 'soil' note. Not a safe blind buy, but worth trying if you can snag a well-macerated bottle.
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.

Occasions
Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for office environments, as it can be overwhelming for others. However, the sophisticated and bold profile makes it an excellent choice for dates and formal events where you want to make a statement.
