Guerlain Embruns d'Ylang is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Thierry Wasser. Embruns d'Ylang opens with Salt and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Clove, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Iris, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Embruns d'Ylang carries an Acquired verdict, a yellow floral-led wear.

Embruns d'Ylang is a proper Guerlain triumph for some: a lush, salty, and spicy floral that transports you straight to a tropical paradise. Others find it overwhelming or simply not what they expected from a ylang-ylang dominant scent. Definitely not one for a blind buy.

About

Opens with a distinctive salty kick and a bright bergamot zing before diving into a rich heart of creamy ylang-ylang and sweet jasmine, warmed by a touch of honey and spicy clove. The base adds depth with powdery iris, earthy patchouli, and a soft vanilla, creating a complex, exotic floral experience. It balances tropical sweetness with a grounding, almost mineralic saltiness throughout.
