Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

Spring

The dark, spicy, and creamy gourmand profile with strong coffee, cacao, patchouli, and ylang-ylang makes this best for fall and winter, where its boldness and warmth cut through the cold. It can work in early spring but will overwhelm in heat.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

This scent is assertive and polarizing, making it best for date nights, evenings out, or formal situations where you want to stand out. Its projection and dark profile can be too much for office or sporty, casual daytime wear.

About

Ylang-Ylang Espresso is a daring, unconventional blend where bitter espresso, smoky patchouli, and creamy tiramisu swirl with lush ylang-ylang and jasmine. The opening is spiked with Sichuan pepper and a hint of tangerine, leading into a heart of tropical yellow florals and earthy gourmand notes. The drydown is dark, woody, and slightly ashy, evoking the vibe of a bohemian café-velvet, cigarette smoke, and a decadent dessert. Cream and cacao round out the bitterness, while guaiac wood adds a lingering, smoky warmth. Bold, enigmatic, and deliciously complex, it leaves a strong, lasting impression.
