Fragrance
Le Labo Ylang 49, Sample
Le Labo Ylang 49 is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women, launched in 2015, crafted by the talented Frank Voelkl. This rich and supremely alluring scent showcases the natural beauty of Ylang-Ylang. The fragrance opens with the intoxicating and exotic aroma of Ylang Ylang, a note that is both creamy and slightly sweet, imparting a sense of warmth and sophistication. It is beautifully intertwined with Pua Noa Noa, also known as Tahitian Gardenia, adding a lush, floral aspect that brings a bright and tropical nuance to the top notes.
As the fragrance evolves, the heart reveals the earthy and grounded character of Patchouli and Oakmoss. Patchouli offers a deep, woody richness, while Oakmoss adds a dry, slightly bitter edge, creating a perfect balance that evokes the timeless elegance of classic chypres. Together, they form a complex and textured middle that seamlessly bridges the transition to the base notes.
In the dry-down, the fragrance settles into a warm and comforting base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, and Benjoin. Vetiver contributes a grassy and slightly smoky quality, while Sandalwood provides a creamy, woody smoothness. Benjoin, with its resinous and balsamic sweetness, rounds out the composition, leaving a lingering trail that is both luxurious and inviting. This fragrance from the celebrated brand of Le Labo embodies a masterful interplay of notes, each layer revealing a new dimension of depth and allure.
