Ylang in Gold Oud Grey
EDPUnisex
The Story
Ylang in Gold Oud Grey is a bold, smoky take on the classic Ylang in Gold. The ylang-ylang is still lush and honeyed, but here it's wrapped in a dark veil of oud, leather, and incense. It's a fragrance for those who love contrast: sweet florals against a rugged, animalic base. The performance is beastly, and the scent evolves beautifully over hours.
