Givenchy Ylang Austral is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Émilie Bevierre-Coppermann and Lucas Sieuzac. Ylang Austral opens with Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Givenchy's Ylang Austral carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive take on ylang-ylang, Ylang Austral polarises with its fresh-but-sultry profile and highly inconsistent longevity. Those who love it find it a modern, exotic twist on a classic, while others see a fleeting, feminine scent that leans too close to Amarige.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its prominent floral and sweet accords make it suitable for date nights and formal events, adding an exotic touch. However, the potential for an intense sillage, combined with its polarizing reception, means it's a riskier pick for the office. Casual wear is appropriate for those who enjoy its distinct character.

About

Ylang Austral opens with a bright, aromatic burst of petitgrain, quickly joined by the creamy, intensely floral character of ylang-ylang. This dominant yellow floral note is gracefully cushioned by a smooth, woody base of sandalwood, providing a sweet yet grounded foundation. While some detect a clean freshness, others experience a more opulent, almost heady quality, evolving from an initial zest to a rich, warm floral heart.
