My Way Ylang

Yummy, yum yum. If you're a sucker for mango/coconut tropical scents, you probably get seduced by this. It's bright, juicy and less synthetic and heavy, warm, resiny smelling than Rabanne Fame. Different enough from Flowerbomb Tiger Lily to justify having both if you're a tropical enthusiast - they're in the same family and for the same occasion (hot summer day-time), but Tiger Lily is more floral focused, a touch lighter & peppery, and stays tropical fruit forward for much longer. The coconut in this comes out way more in the dry-down but I don't agree with any of the sunscreen reviews - at least at first, it's more reminiscent of a tropical island fruity cocktail. When the top notes are gone (which sadly happens surprisingly quickly - like 30 mins to an hour), it ends up much more straight beachy coconut like Beach Walk and Virgin Island Water. The ylang sticks around for longer, but it's kind of overpowered by the tuberose and ylang is also present in BW & VIW anyway. Agree with the review below that wishes it didn't have tuberose. The tuberose isn't as aggressive here as in Soleil Blanc - I think the bergamot citrus helps keep My Way fresh-ish despite it... & at least the tuberose is a slight point of difference instead of including jasmine (which is fresher and frankly nicer), but would make this smell like everything else on the mass market atm. That being said, it's not a unique sent... but I'd still choose it over some of it's peers. Be sure to test it for a few hours before buying it if you already have Beach Walk, Virgin Island water, Coconut Fizz or Soleil Blanc (or don't like those frags), or you may feel mislead by the powerful but fleeting top notes in this. Note - it's a different vibe from the OG My Way - which I find kinda boring and not for me.

First impression test on blotter plus on wrist and I can say with certainty that My Way Ylang is my favourite My Way! I absolutely adore everything ylang ylang, mango, coconut and tuberose. These are literally my all time favourites notes in perfumery for warm weather. It’s freezing cold now in January when I am testing My Way Ylang and the launch feels out of place. But in summertime this is absolutely everything I want to smell like. A creamy, smooth, warm, sweet ylang ylang, coconut and mango with tuberose and a woody base. It’s perfect and absolutely adore it! Very feminine, fruity floral scent, a tropical dream, bottled in a peachy, pink square typical My Way bottle. Sunny, exotic, elegant and crowd pleasing for sure. I am sure that if you love these notes, this will be up your alley. I will go as far as to say that for those who love this scent profile, My Way Ylang is 100% blind buy safe! I need to abstain myself from ordering this because it’s not the season for tropical, fruity, florals, but it’s a sure buy for spring and summer season for me! And for those curious about how this scent, My Way Ylang would compare with Flowerbomb Tiger Lilly, this is so much better, the superior, elevated version of a creamy, tropical fruity floral perfume! Viktor&Rolf lacks the sweetness and creaminess that My Way has for me! Edit 28.04.25 Tried this today again in Sephora and I really liked it. I will definitely get a 10 ml during a future Sephora sale to see exactly how it compares with Jasmine Freak. Looks like they’re similar but I don’t really smell that.

As a huge fan of the My Way line, and comparing the similar notes My Way Ylang has with my beloved Flowerbomb Tiger Lily EDP, I ran to the nearest Macy’s expecting to buy this after testing it... Upon initial (10+, as expected) sprays, I immediately got the whiff of the OG My Way; gorgeous sweet mango and true coconut notes came through, just like Flowerbomb Tiger Lily’s does. I must say, I was happy to compare both and loving that neither perfumes carried anything synthetic to my nose, but this is where the experience took a turn. My Way Ylang’s tuberose became too faint after around an hour, ended up lacking that signature bubblegum scent I adore in the OG, Intense, and Floral versions. The perfume itself lasted a decent 6+ hours, with slight sillage; the mango and coconut unfortunately ended up a little too musky for me throughout the day, which is why I ended up not buying it. I’m not big on “comparing” perfumes, because I don’t find that fair, but Flowerbomb Tiger Lily won this round. That tropical DNA of mango and coconut maintains its “flavor” from beginning to end, with the familiar yet toned-down Flowerbomb OG as its base. My Way Ylang is a beautiful tropical fragrance with great lasting power, but the ylang ylang note overpowered everything else, in the end. Something tells me to definitely give this another go in the warmer seasons!

It did not make a good impression on me on a blotter test, but since I received a sample with my purchase I decided to give it a fair chance and applied it globally. The change in perception is shocking, it is now a like and closing on love since I adore ylang in parfums. It is sweet but rather comfortable to wear, I feel it belongs into floral-fruity-vanilla family. Clearly coconut and ylang are present, mango is subdued but there in the opening notes, tuberose is a fraction of itself. The coconut has many aspects here. An hour in and it is not losing the promise of the opening nor the strength. The sillage is substantial, but not too overwhelming. It will rather stay a bubble and as such might be used at work. But I see it rather a free time parfume, holiday in a bottle, perhaps it won't be too strong during summer. It feels natural. Very feminine. The base is dominated by vanilla but made more spacious with musk and the sweetness is more airy by cedar. I am very satisfied the way it wears. It is a statement parfume. 5,5hours in and it is still deliciously tropical and present. Making it the best tropical scent I know. And on my tobuy list it goes. Charming. The scent development is slow, I still am surrounded by initial impression though it lost the mango and some aspects of coconut. Hot day car ride tested.

A chameleon. July and August it was so big, nearing overwhelming, but now in September on a warm, sunny day it calmed down considerably and started to sound very floral. Top note on me now is the tuberose, with bergamot facet. Next I clearly feel full-bodied fresh ylang-ylang. This pairing is super feminine. From time to time nuances of mango and coconut are showing. Now it is near love for me and my adventure with it started with dislike, so I recommend proper skin tests for this beauty. With sparing application of one spray, this would be university/office appropriate. By all means it can be used in bigger amount but rather for private setting. Not overly tropical, but it gives the blend a special twist. It is special enough to be big events scent. Lovely for a bride it will make any woman a center of attention. I bought 30ml at first, because I adore the way ylang is melting with my skin but I thought it will be too loud to wear often, but I quickly bought a big back-up as this is worth it.

Hear me out.. male, straight, into tropical fragrances (check my profile). Will steer clear of anything marketed as female but if it's unisex I'm all for it.. Great examples- Eau De Soleil Blanc, LV city of stars, Virgin Island Water. Anyway, I see the poster for this one today in store and notice Sydney Sweeny with mangos, two things I like the thought of! Wander instore and try the OG My Way first.. very nice. I try the nectar version..better but leaning a bit fem and very floral. I try Ylang and bang..tropical sunscreen floral, I get the mango and coconut right away. a nice orange blossom with the floral Ylang base. Now I'm thinking to myself I may have to get this as a guilty pleasure for the summer time and holidays to the tropics! At home now smelling my card sample and I'm thinking that I may need to try some more "female" marketed tropical perfumes! And as a bonus I'll let the mrs wear it as well haha more suggestions please.

My favourite My Way. For the first time I am wearing it in summer. Wow. It is so beautiful. I love the tropical take on the My Way heart. In the spring it is verging on too strong, for many hours surrounding me in a big bubble but in the sumer it is lighter, just enough to be present. The ylang ylang is the leading note, beautifully juicyfied with mango and coconut while the tuberose creates the background. The mango and coconut are not literal but adjusting the edges of ylang and tuberose. It is tropical and floral. If this appeals to you then it is worth even a blind buy because the bottle and the parameters are gorgeous and worth having. It lasts many hours. It is so feminine and full of joy. I even bought a backup bottle it is so good. The mango sometimes takes the lead, sometimes it is ylang or coconut or tuberose. I love this caleidoscopic quality. Upping it to love, it is fantastic.

The opening is peach juice-soaked mangos and sun-kissed tuberose. Then the ylang and coconut come shining through. This smells like soleil blanc with the addition of tropical fruit on top. It’s absolutely beautiful. Tuberose is still very much the star note here, as it is a My Way flanker, but this is PERFECT for summer. If you have SB, Alien Goddess, or any of the other leit de coco scents, this may feel slightly redundant as the fruitiness isn’t all too preset toward the middle and nonexistent in the dry down. I see a lot of thumbs down for SB — I own soleil blanc and I’m telling you, they aren’t dupes but they do smell quite similar. Not the same naturally, but very close. This is going to be everywhere this spring and summer, I’m calling it now! What a gorgeous fragrance. Even if you don’t prefer the other My Way flankers, this one is different enough to warrant a sniff.

Fantastic flanker to the My Way line! I get the tuberose and mango as the main notes in the dry-down. At first, this was an explosion and sharp mango, in the most pleasant way. If you like V&R Tigerlily, and OG My Way, (Like I do) then this may be for you! The mango and milkiness of coconut is very similar to Tigerlily, but with a My Way white floral tuberose spin on it. Unsure why so many reviews are saying there is no tuberose..... I definitely detect it as much as the OG, but it's with the added tropical notes as well. Everyone's noses are different, but it's definitely there to me! I hated My Way Nectar (tested so many times). I am thrilled to be so in love with this flanker! I blind bought, and regret nothing.

I’ve been eyeing this perfume since it came out, and I finally got my hands on it. I’m honestly really impressed and surprised, even though I already had high hopes (I adore some of the other my way flankers). It starts out very floral, and as it dries down you get the coconut, mango, and slight banana from the ylang ylang. Oh, and of course there’s the signature My Way tuberose note mixed in. I personally LOVE tuberose, and for this flanker it’s dialed back a bit, especially compared to the others (which isn’t a critique at all, it works well for this one). Longevity and sillage are out of this world - honestly maybe slightly better than my way le parfum. Definitely worth trying!

My aunt loves the og my way and i wanted to try this for her but ended up loving it so much! it is a bright tropical fruity scent that is perfect for warmer weather. i also love the nectar but this one just hits different. it is a great choice for people who likes tropical fragrances like me. it is not groundbreaking but a lovely sweet juicy scent. wore this to the office and got complimented a few times which is always nice. i think this is a very youthful and fruity twist to the og my way, suitable for the younger audience.

Based on wrist test it is a very sweet scent that smells like leather and clothes boutique scented with room spray. The ylang note is overpowered by ultra sweetness that feels juvenile. The coconut is in the background and this is it. Apart from ylang coconut and vanilla I do not feel anything else. Can compete for Ariana Grande fans. Good news for the ones loving the scent - it lasts and lasts, already 2 weeks on the rubber band of my watch. Just by the contact with perfumed skin.

This one was unexpected, I’m a big My Way hater. But this?? It’s gorgeous, bold sweet mango and fresh florals playing a background supporting role. It lasts strongly on my skin for hours, absolutely no issues with the performance. My only slight complaint is that the scent is dependent on the weather. On a nice spring day it falls flat, on a blazing hot muggy day it shines and is so beautiful. I just wish I could wear it more, it’s a perfect vacation in a bottle perfume.

A perfectly blended tropical-flowery scent. Other flankers from my way line didn’t stand out to me. This one has nothing to do with them. Completely different from fame parfum from rabanne which is sweet mango tropical which i absolutely adore too, but in a sirupy way. Here the mango is more of a realistic fruit form as a fruity smoothie in which you added little banana and orange. Projection is loud, longevity seems unfortunately on the mediocre side.

Goodness, I love this perfume! I smell the OG My Way underneath a refreshing and juicy mango. I get the smallest touch of a creamy coconut.. but nothing too heavy or sunscreen like. Then the flirty and fun tropical florals come out.. whew! This is uplifting, juicy, vibrant and fun. The staying power is pretty good.. about 6 hours. The silage is pretty good too. I have received multiple compliments on this scent by men and women. My fave summer flanker!

This is one of my favorite perfumes, sweet and fruity, perfect for the summer. I can understand why some people dislike it, I find that it mixes with other scents quite poorly, but on it's own I love it. The juicy mango mixed with the florals is what makes this smell so alluring to me, super light and sweet with a slight powdery undertone, this is a perfect tropical girly scent for the summer.

this smells like summer in a bottle. a fruity, sweet cocktail on the beach! from that description you can guess it: this is perfect for summer. you will be turning heads with this. be careful with how much you spray though cause it could cause a sneezing attack lol. what i’m trying to say is, this starts with a punch to the face but after it fades it’s giving you a beautiful summer feeling.

I just picked this up in Montreal Canada today and I LOVE IT! Definitely a spring summer frag, but you can still get away with wearing it this winter, lasts about seven hours and I find a projection is excellent! The notes are delicious and blend well on my skin. I don’t think there’s any version of the “my way “perfumes that I don’t love.! Definitely worth buying, I got the 50 ML.

This is the best My Way out there... absolutely fantastic smell of Mango with Coconut and Ylang! I LOVE IT! is so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.... like OMG! Very pleasant although it doesn't stay long on my skin... up to 3 hours max. But i like it so much that I am ready to spray myslef every 2-3 h if needed... is amazing!

I have never used any of the perfumes from this line. I got a sample and when I sprayed it, I was mind blown. It smells so beautifully feminine. It smells sweet and creamy. I'm used to perfumed with amber but this is just marvellous. I definitely think its a summer scent, but i believe you can rock this at night.
