Defeated the boss
The brand Volnay was unknown to me until now and provided me with pleasant surprises. If I correctly classify the perfumes here in the database, these are all fragrances that originally come from the twenties and received a re-release in 2013. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
No less than three cuties from this brand reached me in the mail last week, and one of them immediately excited me: Yapana. Yapana creates namely something that many of his colleagues do not succeed. Because Yapana is superficially a powder fragrance and I like it very much. What do you mean? Polly and powder? Didn't there used to be a boss? Oh yes, there still is, but I forget it very quickly when I sniff Yapana.
This fragrance starts off rather herbaceous and a bit harsh. The first fragrance chords let me suspect that I might be dealing with a chypre here. Far from it. Because the green, woody and spicy notes up front drift into floral very quickly. A ylang-ylang emerges, but it never annoys me as it doesn't bring a hint of a coconut note or any other tropical fuss. And along comes my best friends too. Sweet, subtle resins. The fact that the whole thing presents itself rather powdery doesn't bother me at all. Yapana's powder note is different, in fact; it's rice-powdery, delicate and all-around pleasing. You can compare this powdering somewhat with the Kenzo Amour, which I also very much appreciated, which I even own, but here, of course, this takes place without incense.
In the base, the fragrance then becomes very delicate and cozy. I smell a gentle vanilla note, as well as still some rice powder and benzoin. The whole gives a mix similar to JHAGs Musc Invisible. Still minimally floral in the background but overall just delicate, sweet and skin deep. Wonderful! Would I get along better with the top note, this could have become a purchase candidate.
I don't think it has much in common with Mugler's Oriental Extreme, which is listed as a twin, is very iris-driven, and is supposed to resemble Dior Homme Intense. If I had to pick an exclusive Mugler as a comparable scent, my choice would be Over the Musk, but again, only similar, no twin. Finally, the similarities are only in the base of the fragrance to make out.
Very nice with all Volnays is that they have a delicate character, despite often complex compositions. Since Chypre elements are combined with classic oriental notes (in the European sense) as well as powder and gourmand aspects, but everything always remains round and coherent and does not slay you immediately. To me, this brand seems to lie.
Dear thanks to Medusa00 for the test possibility.
