Details & care

What it is: A fragrance that's an exclusive co-distillate of ylang-ylang heart essence ambered by tonka bean absolute.

Fragrance story: An hypnotic, sensual and elusive fragrance. The enigmatic fusion of opposing extracts fuses luminous ylang-ylang heart essence, radiating like captured sunlight with gourmand tonka bean absolute. This exclusive co-distillate is obtained as two extracts are macerated together to darken the flower's solar qualities and veil them in the deep amber shadows of the tonka bean absolute. This creamy, ambered extract is complemented by the raw richness of tobacco accord, while sweet cistus absolute brings resinous-like undertones. It features a lingering, hypnotic trail. Ylang Ambrato Eau de Parfum unisex perfume is encased in a black glass bottle adorned with a chameleon: a symbol of transformation that blends into the shadows, leaving behind its entrancing trails.
This ambery floral Gucci scent owes its addictive solar elegance to perfumer Jean-Christophe Hérault. Transmuting two of the finest natural extracts through fusion, he creates one extract of ambered perfection where opposing essences converge to create an exceptional signature fragrance.

Style: Ambery floral.

Notes:
- Top: tonka bean absolute and ylang-ylang heart essence
- Middle: cistus absolute
- Base: tobacco accord

Ylang Amber

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A lovely amber ylang ylang scent that’s mature but not too powdery or musky. I think this is more ideal for winter and autumn and prefer a lighter scent for spring. It lasts decently long and the logo is cute with the chameleon.

Smells spicy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I did not like this fragrance at all. It was very peppery and spicy with a hint of cinnamon or at least that’s what it smelled like to me. It stays on forever which is great if you love the scent but horrible if you’re not a fan of it. I wouldn’t recommend or purchase this fragrance!

Smells balanced!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don’t usually wear perfume every day but I actually tried this and got many compliments. I would describe it as floral but maybe a little musky of a scent, balances very well. This little bottle lasted me a while and I’d imagine a bigger bottle would be a great value. Also beautiful package for the little tester.

Heavily Tobacco Scented Parfum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very “natural” smelling parfum. The tobacco is the focal point of this for sure. It’s more masculine, but the ylang ylang tones that down a bit and while the tobacco is very prevalent, it’s still somehow light at the same time. I personally would not purchase this myself, but it’s not a bad scent. I could see a man wearing this for an outdoor occasion - almost like a garden party.

Light and spicy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fragrance is pretty fantastic. It has a spicy, semi-sweet scent that's great. It also has a hint of smoky floral aroma, but it's not too strong in either direction. Smells perfect for year-round use, and when the scent fades after a few hours, it only gets better!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not my favorite scent. It is a bit uni-sex leaning for me, especially with the orange blossom note. Definitely a more youthful scent, just in my honest opinion. Average performance as it is kind of light. Read less
