Ylang 49 (EDP)

"Ylang 49 EDP is Le Labo's dark floral-chypre interpretation of ylang-ylang, built with a richer and more shadowed structure than many tropical white florals. Contemporary reviews and retailer listings consistently describe it around ylang-ylang, Tahitian gardenia, patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood, and benzoin. Rather than reading as a sunny soliflore, it is widely perceived as mossy, earthy, woody, and slightly smoky, with a sophisticated old-school chypre undertone. Early review coverage from 2013 indicates it was introduced as part of Le Labo's permanent core line alongside other releases from that period. The fragrance is often praised for making a traditionally lush floral feel more mysterious, elegant, and gender-fluid in a modern niche style."
