The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024, My Way Ylang by Giorgio Armani is a Floral Fruity fragrance created by perfumers Carlos Benaïm and Pascal Gaurin. This composition opens with the bright and juicy notes of mango and coconut, evoking sun-soaked afternoons. The heart of orange blossom and ylang-ylang adds an irresistible sweetness, while tuberose introduces a subtle complexity. The base notes of vanilla and cedarwood provide warmth and depth, grounding the fragrance in a lush tropical atmosphere.
Apply two sprays for a balanced presence. The fruity top notes are bright but fade within an hour, so reapply if you want to maintain that initial freshness. The base notes will linger longer, providing warmth throughout the day.
