Vintage Collection Ylang Ylang

Vintage Collection Ylang Ylang is a rich floral from the Italian perfumer Lorenzo Villoresi, released under his own name in 2014 and worn by anyone. Floral is the word everyone uses for it, with a minority also noticing a sweet, gourmand side.

Ylang-ylang is the subject of the scent, and it is a full, creamy, slightly banana-like flower with a heady, almost spicy sweetness. It is surrounded by other white flowers that amplify it: jasmine sambac for a warm, indolic richness, tiare flower for a tropical, slightly coconut-tinged softness, and orange blossom and neroli for a honeyed and a cooler, soapier brightness. Rose adds a touch of warmth, and bourbon geranium a green, rosy sharpness that keeps the bouquet from becoming too heavy. Vanilla and tonka bean form the base, adding the soft, sweet, almond-tinged warmth that people describe as gourmand.

It is a lush, tropical scent for warm evenings and special occasions, for anyone who loves big white flowers and wants ylang-ylang front and centre.
