Givenchy Amarige Ylang-Ylang de Mayotte 2006 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006, created by Émilie Coppermann. Amarige Ylang-Ylang de Mayotte 2006 opens with Petitgrain and Neroli, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Gardenia, and Mimosa, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Amber, and Sandalwood. Givenchy's Amarige Ylang-Ylang de Mayotte 2006 carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This Amarige flanker is a divisive one. Fans adore its ylang-ylang-forward warmth, praising its romantic charm, while others find its sweetness overpowering and not different enough from the original. You'll either love it or find it a bit much.

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.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright, zesty splash of neroli and petitgrain, quickly paving the way for the star of the show: a rich, intoxicating ylang-ylang. This yellow floral heart is bolstered by creamy gardenia and a touch of mimosa, creating a sweet, heady bouquet. As it settles, a warm, woody base of amber and sandalwood emerges, adding a sensual, lingering depth that makes it truly memorable.
