Perfumer’s dream: saving the highly demanded ylang-ylang | SLICE

Описание: Off the coast of Southern Africa, the mountains of the Comoros Archipelago stand high above the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

These tropical islands are home to some exceptional flora and fauna, over which a golden flower reigns supreme. Its name is ylang-ylang, meaning “the flower of flowers”.

It has long been established as one of the most precious scents in the perfumer’s collection. Its distilled fragrance can be found in more than 300 scents from some the world’s most prestigious perfume houses. It’s one of the most frequently used natural materials in luxury perfumery.
