L'Air du Temps Eau de Parfum
powdery white florals over mossy cedar
Ylang-ylang in perfume smells rich, banana-creamy, and heady — a tropical white floral with narcotic depth. It's the fifth-most-important floral material in classical perfumery after rose, jasmine, tuberose, and orange blossom. Scendira's Ylang-Ylang collection currently holds 1,678 perfumes.

Best for: wearers who love a heady, tropical floral — ylang carries sweetness and warmth together. Sample first if: heady whites (jasmine, tuberose) give you a headache; ylang runs in similar territory. Skip if: you want something cool, sheer, or minimalist.
Every perfume in this collection is catalogued the same way: real notes and accords, independent community sentiment, no paid placements.
