Beautiful fragrance - at the same time migraine in the bottle

As you can see from my review, I find the scent absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, it causes me incredible headaches, nausea and dizziness. But now a little more precise:

Ylang in gold I have discovered through the love Reni of lenisscents on YouTube. D
She described it so pictorially and beautifully that I couldn't help but buy a bottling right away. I was so fascinated by the gold particles and the fragrance that I sprayed it on directly. First impression was incredibly positive, like a creamy taste explosion only much more versatile.

Fragrance description
I want to describe the fragrance at this segelte times completely unbiased, because it is really great:
The Kopfniten are not recognizable for me, however, one immediately notices the ylang ylang, coconut and the beautiful vanilla at the first spray, then slowly joins the sandalwood as well as the lily of the valley. The rest is more of an "aftertaste", where I can not smell out the individual notes.

Sillage and Prjektion are both good, as is the durability, because you smell the fragrance forever on yourself.

And here we come to my problem with the fragrance:
The mix of the longevity, the intensity, and I think the notes in the head make the scent a headache contender for me and unlike anything I've ever experienced.

In fact, the first spray of the bottling I did not think that the headache comes from the fragrance but simply from not drinking enough, then today in a perfumery I sniffed my way through all the fragrances and got stuck with the ylang in gold, because as I said before I like the scent incredibly well. Of course I thought it was good to use the 20% and take it directly with me, then I sprayed it on my arm to wear it on the way home. What happens? I get a severe migraine and realize that it's from the ylang in gold, because even though I like it, the "aftertaste" described above comes into my head as if I had a thick rain cloud of ylang in gold in front of my eyes. Have him then also returned directly and had to shower, after which the headache was almost gone.
Very very sad, now I am of course looking for similar fragrances especially one with ylang ylang, so feel free to leave me your recommendations.

Have him today thanks to a bottling can test. Find him similar to one of my favorites Signature of Montblanc. Only Ylang is much more vanilla and smells stronger coconut and unfortunately sandalwood. This also often gives me such a headache. Very sad for us:)
The Signature I feel as fresher and more something for everyday life. Not so refined, but painless.

Thanks for the "warning". Then he is probably nothing for me... Liebäugle also with it, but too much Ylang-Ylang I tolerate badly ... So I'd better leave it alone.

Have unfortunately exactly the same problem. I have become so bad from the fragrance. Stupid is only that it was a blind purchase and I now have a 30 ml bottle here. :-(

I'm very sorry that you get such a headache from the fragrance. Maybe Yang in Gold Nectar is more tolerable for you. It is very similar, but much creamier and dimmer. Kind regards Renate
