About This Perfume
Ylang in Gold by M. Micallef is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women. Ylang in Gold was launched in 2012. The nose behind this fragrance is Jean-Claude Astier. Top notes are Caramel, Rose and Bergamot; middle notes are Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Orange Blossom and Coconut; base notes are Vanilla, Sandalwood and Musk. Ylang in Gold was introduced to the public in 2012, part of the COLLECTION JEWEL. Ylang-ylang plays a special role in Micallef's recent releases. The notes of this fragrance were kept a secret until launch. Ylang in Gold is composed of a balanced floral bouquet warmed by sunny notes evoking the islands: ylang-ylang, sandalwood, coconut and vanilla. Applied to the skin, Ylang in Gold leaves a delicate and refined pearly-golden veil that shimmers on the skin. Available as 100 ml EDP
