Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ylang 49 EDP

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.

Our Verdict - New York 5th Avenue Extrait

Pearl Fragrances copies the tuberose-gardenia-jasmine heart of Bond No. 9's Saks Fifth Avenue for Her, a big white-floral scent, though it comes through less rich and rounded than the original's tropical, coconut-tinged version.
