YLANG IN GOLD

Ylang in Gold is an eau de parfum by M. Micallef, the Grasse house renowned for its hand-decorated jewel bottles, and part of the Jewel Collection. It is a sunny, sensual floral amber scent that wraps the skin like a golden veil.

The Fragrance

Ylang in Gold is a hymn to light and sunny femininity: a perfume that evokes sun-kissed skin, exotic flowers and the sweetness of summer evenings. The house conceived it as a golden caress on the skin, able to leave a luminous, precious aura, just like the gold in its name. The white bottle with golden decorations mirrors its radiant elegance.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is bright and gourmand: bergamot meets caramel and a delicate note of rose, in a sweet, refined accord. The exotic bouquet blossoms in the heart: ylang ylang joins coconut, orange blossom and jasmine in a creamy, sunny embrace. The base is soft and sensual: musk, vanilla and sandalwood leave a warm, velvety trail on the skin.

Who We Recommend Ylang in Gold To

We recommend Ylang in Gold to those who love sunny, creamy floral perfumes with a gourmand touch, and to anyone looking for a luminous, feminine fragrance that gets remembered. It is perfect from spring to autumn, for sunny days, holidays and special evenings. Mainly feminine, it suits everyone.
