Phaedon Paris Ilanguara is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Gerard Bertrand. Ilanguara opens with Lemon and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Gurjun Balsam, Almond, Benzoin, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Guaiac Wood, and Vanilla. Phaedon Paris's Ilanguara carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Ilanguara is a balsamic, resinous scent with an almond and vanilla sweetness. Ylang-ylang and lemon open it, but benzoin, incense and the balsams are the story. Rich and slightly smoky, it suits those who like their ambers deep and cosy.

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.

About

Ilanguara opens with ylang-ylang and lemon, a creamy floral note brightened by citrus. The heart is where the scent gets its character: almond, benzoin, copaiba balm, gurjun balsam and incense, which are resinous, sweet and a little smoky. The base of vanilla, guaiac wood, vetiver and cedar adds creamy sweetness and woody dryness. This eau de parfum is a deep, balsamic and warm scent, comforting and rich.
