Franck Boclet Ylang Ylang is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Ylang Ylang opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Incense, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vetiver, and Caramel. Franck Boclet's Ylang Ylang carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This Ylang Ylang is a sweet, creamy, burnt caramel bomb that's surprisingly divisive. You'll either adore its gourmand depth or find it overwhelmingly sugary.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate performance and sweet, enveloping nature make it better suited for intimate occasions like dates or casual outings. The gourmand strength might be too much for a professional office setting, and it's certainly not for sport.

About

Opening with a zesty burst of mandarin and bergamot, a subtle hint of incense weaves through the initial freshness. The heart soon unfolds with creamy ylang-ylang, powdery iris, and a whisper of jasmine, creating a smooth floral core. As it settles, a dominant burnt caramel accord emerges, mingling with warm amber and musk, while vetiver adds a touch of earthy grounding to this distinctly sweet and comforting scent.
