The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2021 by Giorgio Armani, The Yulong Soie de Nacre is an aromatic green fragrance created by perfumer Julie Massé. This composition balances the freshness of citrus and green notes with a heart of floral and aromatic accords, before settling into a warm base of woody and earthy tones. Petitgrain and mandarin orange provide a bright opening that transitions seamlessly into the complexity of cardamom and green tea. The heart features the softness of orange blossom and jasmine, while vetiver and ambrette add depth and warmth in the drydown.
Apply this fragrance in light layers — the citrus opening is bright but fades within an hour. The base of vetiver and ambrette develops slowly over time, so it's best to let it build naturally throughout the day.
