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.
Ayah is a divisive beast: some say it's glorious oud-rose perfection, others find it too medicinal or not rich enough. This one is for those who love their oud-rose blend unashamedly bold, perhaps with a touch of nostalgia.

Occasions
The strong, traditional woody-rose-oud profile makes it less suitable for casual or office wear. It truly shines in formal evening settings and on special date nights where its opulent character can be appreciated.
