As it settles, the fragrance softens into a rich floral heart, featuring Ylang-Ylang, Tuberose, and Jasmine.

This scent is a captivating interplay of bold spices and elegant blossoms, creating an intimate spark of sensuality. Aware base of wood and musk adds a touch of luxurious coziness.
Maison Du Roc Ylang d’Or opens with a good projection that captivates and within an hour , it transforms into an intimate , enveloping scent that lingers beautifully throughout the day. It’s one of those fragrances that offers a unique experience during its development stage before settling into its final dry-down aroma.
I find Maison Du Roc Ylang d’Or to be a unisex fragrance, subtly leaning towards the feminine side. However, this can vary greatly depending on personal taste and skin chemistry. If you’re like me and appreciate florals that aren’t overpowering but instead harmonize with other notes, then this fragrance is definitely for you. I adored the dry down scent on my skin.
For me, Maison Du Roc Ylang d’Or is a beautiful blend of gourmand and floral notes that can be worn year-round. It carries a subtle warmth, making it perfect for fall and winter, while still being fresh enough for spring and summer.
