EDP · 2017 · unisex

Franck Boclet is a niche French house known for unconventional fragrances that prioritize raw materials and distinctive character over commercial appeal. The brand has built a reputation for bold, sometimes polarizing scents that challenge traditional fragrance norms.

Ylang Ylang opens with mandarin orange, incense, and bergamot, creating a bright citrus top with smoky depth. The heart showcases the namesake ylang-ylang alongside jasmine and iris, delivering a creamy, intensely floral character. The base grounds the composition with caramel, amber, musk, and vetiver, transforming the florals into something warmer and more sensual. The overall effect is a sweet, woody floral with prominent caramel and amber notes that give the fragrance a gourmand quality without feeling like a dessert fragrance.

This is best suited to those who appreciate full-bodied florals with a touch of indulgence. It works year-round but feels particularly compelling in cooler months when its warmth and creamy character shine. Unisex by design, it leans slightly feminine in execution but has enough structural depth for anyone drawn to its particular blend of florality and sweetness. Explore similar fragrances through The Romantic, The Heirloom, and The Hedonist.

Top · 0–30 min
Mandarin Orange
Mandarin Orange
Incense
Incense
The dry, smoky, slightly woody scent of burning resin, incense in perfumery usually means frankincense or similar resins, adding a contemplative, almost spiritual quality. It creates distance and mystery, making fragrances feel larger than they are. A hallmark of niche, serious perfumery.
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Ylang-Ylang
Ylang-Ylang
Jasmine
Jasmine
Intoxicating, heady, and slightly animalic, jasmine is one of the few flowers that smells as rich in a bottle as it does climbing a garden wall at dusk. It has an almost fleshy, indolic quality that stops it reading as purely 'clean.' Jasmine is a workhorse in both feminine and masculine perfumery, adding depth and soul.
Iris
Iris
One of perfumery's most prized and expensive ingredients, iris has a powdery, cool, almost carrot-like richness that is hard to describe and impossible to mistake. It's simultaneously earthy and refined, like the inside of an old Parisian couture house. Iris root (orris) adds quiet luxury to anything it touches.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Caramel
Caramel
Warm, buttery, and sweet with a slight bitterness from the cooking process, caramel is one of perfumery's most approachable gourmand notes. It adds a comforting, edible quality without going full dessert, and it softens and rounds other notes beautifully. A pillar of the Angel-inspired oriental-gourmand genre.
Amber
Amber
A warm, resinous accord rather than a single ingredient, amber is typically built from labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla to create a rich, honeyed, almost solar warmth. It's the quintessential base-note family, adding a comforting richness that makes fragrances feel complete. The difference between a fragrance feeling cold and feeling alive.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
