About this fragrance
Ylang & Amber is an exotic, sun-drenched retreat where golden florals meet deep, comforting warmth. It opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot and lavender, bright citrus peels and tart lemon zest, lifted by a cooling breath of eucalyptus, zesty orange, and crisp green leaves.
As the fragrance deepens, an opulent, intoxicating heart takes flight. Exotic ylang ylang blossoms merge with blooming rose, dewy jasmine, and a soft whisper of lilac.
The scent anchors itself in a rich, velvety foundation. Glowing amber and deep earthy patchouli melt into soft woods, a smooth creamy vanilla base, warm tonka bean, and a whisper of clove, grounded by earthy vetiver and rich balsam resin, leaving a radiant finish that feels golden, sensual, and beautifully grounded. Compare to Aveda® brand Shampure™.
