The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Ylang Cananga by Chloé is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance created by perfumer Serge de Oliveira and launched in 2021. This scent opens with the vibrant energy of yellow florals, creating an immediate sense of warmth and sweetness that contrasts beautifully with its woody undertones. The composition strikes a balance between the lush richness of ylang-ylang and the grounding quality of wood, making it a fragrance that feels both intimate and expansive.

How to wear it

Apply Ylang Cananga in light layers — its moderate longevity and sillage mean that a few sprays will suffice to create the perfect balance between warmth and subtlety. It’s best suited for daytime wear when you want a scent that feels close to skin, enhancing your personal space with its floral-woody blend.
