The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2008, Private Collection Amber Ylang Ylang by Estée Lauder is an Oriental Floral fragrance that marries the lush warmth of ylang-ylang with a rich amber base. The opening notes of bergamot and cinnamon provide a vibrant contrast before giving way to the heart's floral bouquet of geranium and Bulgarian rose. This composition creates an enveloping embrace, making it feel both intimate and luxurious.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for the best longevity. The spicy top notes dissipate quickly, but the amber and vanilla base notes will linger throughout the day. It's perfect for evening wear when you want a scent that feels both intimate and luxurious.
