WAMAQ Ylang is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2026. Ylang opens with Bergamot, Pear, Apricot, and Mint, settles into a heart of Linden Tree, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. WAMAQ's Ylang carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Ylang gets a lot of love, but it's not a blind buy. Some find its floral heart just a bit too much, while others can't get enough of its unique, confident character.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Built on yellow floral, sweet and woody - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and rich, warm floral-sweet profile make it better suited for evening dates or formal events where it can truly shine without overwhelming. While some might brave it for casual wear, its luxurious depth leans away from an everyday office scent.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Imagine strolling through an exotic garden, where the sharp zest of bergamot brightens the juicy sweetness of pear and apricot. Soon, the air becomes thick with the heady, creamy aroma of ylang-ylang and delicate jasmine, intertwined with the fresh, green whisper of linden. As it settles, a warm, sensual base emerges, with soft leather, vanilla, and tonka bean enveloping you in a comforting embrace, grounded by earthy sandalwood and a hint of musky sophistication.
