Tell me where... *sing*
Tell me where the notes are?

Tell me where the notes are?
Ylang quickly overwhelmed them!
When will we ever understand

I could now sing a separate verse for bergamot, peach, saffron, and amber, but I'll spare you that (there were reasons I played the drums and was never in a choir *laugh*) :-)

The fact is that Saffron Amber on my skin, as well as on paper or fabric, consists 98% of Ylang in a numbing, sweet-heavy, oily concentration. At first, there is a sweet, indefinable fruity note, and at the very end, the Ylang takes on a slightly bitter note. Otherwise, pure Ylang!

However, Saffron Amber lasts like Pattex (the Pattex version where the man in the suit is stuck to the ceiling with his feet). And did I mention - it has room-filling sillage too?! A fabric piece with a spritz has noticeably scented my 30sqm bedroom within half an hour, and in the morning, about 8 hours later, the scent was still perceptible, around the fabric but also about 1m around my nightstand. On the skin, it survives showering with exfoliation...
...and I don't even like Ylang :-(
