Ylang in Gold Nectar

Ylang in Gold Nectar is leaps and bounds better than the original. It starts as a tropical, yellow flower bomb, mellowed by a fruity sweetness until it gives way to a decadent coconut and vanilla base. The touches of oak moss and musk ground it. Nectar is smoother and more sophisticated than its sweeter, more youthful, and less floral sister. Projects like crazy and last forever on my skin, but that may have more to do with the ylang-ylang note which always gets amplified by my chemistry. This is a masterpiece, but I can only tolerate ylang-ylang in supporting roles. However, YIGN reaffirms my appreciation for the quality and love put into the perfumes from Maison Micallef.

I own both the original YLANG IN GOLD and this YLANG IN GOLD NECTAR. As a lover of everything sweet, it surprised me that I prefer the NECTAR over the original. The NECTAR has a toned down sweetness allowing the floral notes to shine brightly. Ylang and vanilla are the most prominent. I thought the coconut will be more evident but although it's detectable, it's not playing a lead role, just there to add creaminess. Not a single note screams, it's like each note has melded beautifully with each other. It may be tamer than the original but it does not lack the rich, delectable and hypnotic qualities that make this liquid gold desirable.

I adore this as much as I adore the OG Ylang in Gold! I would say they are quite similar but Nectar has more prominent flowers and sandalwood notes to me. It is absolutely divine scent, very feminine and gentle yet sensual and attracting. It reminds me of tropical paradise beach, sun kissed skin and some mouthwatering fruity dessert. It works well under heat and performance is great. Lasts 6 hours at least and projects within arm length. This is high quality unique perfume. 100% recommended

This is a very honeyed fragrance, I'm obsessed. It open strong, but then mellows out in sweetness and the ylang-ylang and coconut come through extra creamy. There are so many opening notes but honestly I don't pick up on any of them, it's very well blended. To my nose I get honey, which isn't a note but perhaps that's the sum of all the notes? it's perfect for Spring and I can't wait to wear it.

Beautiful scent that really goes well with my skin chemistry. Although marketed for women, I find it perfectly unisex. High quality, moderate longevity (about 6h) and good sillage. Love at first sniff, and the dry down is just amazing.
