So much in advance: the bottle exudes its intoxicating scent with great endurance!

Once again, an absolute blind buy. I neither knew the perfume nor had the slightest idea of how Ylang-Ylang smells. After reading the comments here and on fragrantica, I thought I’d just go for this souk bargain ;-)
This scent is fascinating! Normally, I am not a floral woman, as they tend to be too flowery, and that’s just not me. In my collection, I only consider two fragrances as floral: "Taif Rose" by Montale, which I enjoy smelling but somehow never want to wear, and Penhaligon's "Peoneve" - which I perceive as a knockout flower. Both are great, but have been sitting at nearly unchanged levels for a long time.
And then I venture into a scent that is described by parfumo as floral-sweet! Oh yes, sweet is also not really my direction and none of my attributes ;-)
Yesterday I received the bottle, sprayed it on, and couldn't get my nose away!
I haven't even consulted the all-knowing www for any information about Ylang-Ylang yet.

My scent impression: this flower must have really thick fleshy leaves. The scent seems so juicy to me. It exudes a strange kind of sultriness, a really high L/D scent humidity. And yes, it is sweet! But a sweetness that doesn't remind me of desserts or anything (I don’t like gourmand scents). More of a syrupy sweetness. However, in the background, it has a slightly citrusy-sparkling sourness. Thus, this syrup does not overwhelm me. This definitely defines the scent for me. I can't detect a real progression; from the first scent impression to the end - which is many hours later - this scent remains quite constant. Only the sparkle diminishes a bit.
If I had to assign a color, it would be a rich yellow, tending towards orange.

Rarely has a scent that completely contradicts my usual pattern excited me so much!

I think Ylang-Ylang can be worn in any season. In warmth/heat, the citrus note "refreshes," and in cold, the syrupy sweetness warms.

Even though it is labeled as unisex, I find it hard to imagine a man smelling like this.

Since the water lily equates the scent with pure Ylang-Ylang oil, I now have a clear idea of the pure scent and can confidently explore the plant further on the www. I can’t be influenced anymore ;-)

Many thanks to Josie78, to whom I owe this unexpectedly wonderful experience.

Conclusion: I could roll around in it, wallow, and bathe :)

Yes, for me the most beautiful of all (tested) cloves!
If you're hoping for the pretty flower now, you should look elsewhere, because this is clove, the spicy one, par excellence!

In my search for a clove with a sledgehammer effect, I ended up with this one. A blind purchase, of course - made possible by a very kind Parfumo from the capital, who kindly picked up my Lehmann order, fronted the money, and quickly sent it to me. A thousand thanks again for that!!!

The first spray was sobering. Intense, but really! Yet this hammer becomes increasingly softer and warmer. Are they woods, are they flowers? To be honest, I don't know. But the spicy clove remains dominant!
A "simple" clove scent that sheds its harshness and wraps itself in a cozy blanket - but never conceals or hides.

Nothing bitter, no stale floral water, and no old man note. Perhaps the scent of fine clove soap - without the soap scent.

I don't need to say anything about the bottle, it's known, simple, and functional.
Sillage is limited, the surroundings perceive it without being overwhelming.
Unisex, but yes!
Lasts about 7 hours. On clothing, easily around 30 hours at least.

An encounter with a new favorite! :)

and the statement offers too little space:
Non-Christmas spice mix, nothing stands out for me, but it comes together harmoniously; not cuddly, relatively fresh + invigorating, tickles dusty in the nose without provoking a sneeze.
Lasts well over 12h, unisex, easily noticeable, without being overwhelming.

No longer found on the manufacturer's website. Discontinued???

Sparkling and cheerful! Without knowing why, I had to grin. Prosecco with sorbet. Garden party under a starry sky. A little tipsy.

A bit of everything. I sprayed it on without any idea of the fragrance notes and can check off everything in hindsight, just not the order :) The notes create an overall picture, where, like a beam of light, individual areas/fragrance notes are alternately illuminated, while the others do not disappear but simply recede.

Not a gourmand, sweet-floral-woody and absolutely unisex.

Clear wish candidate!

The longevity is great too! After more than 12 hours, I still have a fruity-floral-woody scent on my skin! Really nice!

In response to my enthusiastic comment on "Vanille Insensee," I was repeatedly pointed towards Eau Duelle. So, I inevitably had to get samples of both EdT and EdP.

I must quickly stifle any hopes of significant differences between the two, as they are very minimal for me. Too minimal to even put into words. I can’t think of a better way to describe it than to call my nose an olfactory brute. The Hesse says: As the lord, so the servant. :D

Upon spraying both, I was shocked: a dense cloud of freshly ground pepper! Absolutely aromatic - but please, not on me! By now, I even find this opening beautiful!

This note quickly weakens, without completely disappearing, and the spicy, entirely unsweet vanilla described in previous comments joins in.
However: if I didn’t know that vanilla was included, I might not directly recognize it.
As the pepper recedes, the scent becomes softer and somewhat creamier. Although it’s not really creamy.

I can only describe the difference between EdT and EdP in terms of color. The EdT is a bit lighter, but without shining.
The longevity is significantly better with the EdP! Both have been on my skin for over 6 hours now, and the EdP is more noticeable, although the EdT is still present.

In conclusion, I find both very beautiful, but I cannot feel any enthusiasm.
I don’t notice the stated incense, at most a delicate smokiness that doesn’t satisfy me. My favorite in the category "vanilla for vanilla haters" remains unchallenged: Vanille Insensee.

For those missing further scent descriptions, I refer you to the previous comments, to which there is nothing to add.

It is clear, however, that I will NEVER write a comment on my smartphone again!!!

Addendum: Unisex, and I can imagine it year-round.
Today it was over 30°C here, and it actually suited the weather.

Addendum: after a few days passed and I became more enthusiastic, I had to get the bottle :D
I have increased my rating, as the scent memory had settled in my nose.
