Launched in 2012 by M. Micallef, Ylang in Gold is an Oriental Floral fragrance crafted by Jean-Claude Astier. The composition opens with a bright burst of bergamot and ylang-ylang, quickly giving way to a heart of rose and jasmine that adds a layer of floral sweetness.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers; the ylang-ylang and bergamot top notes are bright but fleeting. The base notes of sandalwood and vanilla take about an hour to fully bloom, so a subtle first application allows them to develop naturally throughout the day.
