Parfums Caron La Selection My Ylang is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Richard Fraysse. La Selection My Ylang opens with White Flowers, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Currant Blossom and Mandarin, and dries down to a base of Vanilla. Parfums Caron's La Selection My Ylang carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a pretty, if somewhat understated, floral that splits opinion. Some find it a modern, elegant take on ylang-ylang; others are put off by a tangy blackcurrant note that can lean a bit 'pissy'.

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.

With its moderate longevity and sillage, My Ylang is versatile for daily wear, especially in casual and office settings where it won't overpower. It's a bit too light for formal events and not suited for sport.

About

My Ylang opens with a vibrant bouquet of white flowers, dominated by the creamy, exotic sweetness of ylang-ylang, softened by the delicate whispers of jasmine, rose, and lily of the valley. A surprising juicy and tangy burst of blackcurrant blossom and mandarin cuts through the floral heart, adding a modern, fruity twist. As it settles, a subtle, soft vanilla emerges, anchoring the composition with a gentle warmth without ever becoming overly sweet or heavy.
