   I’ve been wearing Ylang 49 on and off for a few weeks now (2015). Give it a little time and Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli, which is where the fragrance really shines. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.

   My first Le Labo experience was this one, Ylang 49 (2015). Give it a little time and Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli, which is where the fragrance really shines. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. Worth sampling before committing to a bottle.

   I keep reaching for Ylang 49 more than I expected to. The heart is the best part for me: Ylang-Ylang and Patchouli feel carefully balanced. Give it a little time and Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli comes forward — smooth and well done. It is not the loudest scent I own, but the balance suits it well. Full-bottle worthy without a doubt.

   Le Labo knows how to compose, and Ylang 49 (2015) is proof. The heart is the best part for me: Ylang-Ylang and Patchouli feel carefully balanced. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli, which is where the fragrance really shines. Projection stays close for the first hour, then becomes a soft, pleasant aura. This has earned a permanent spot in my rotation.

   A couple of wears in, Ylang 49 has really grown on me. Give it a little time and Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli, which is where the fragrance really shines. Performance is consistent: comfortable sillage and several hours of wear on my skin. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.

   I needed a full wearing before I made my mind up about Ylang 49. Give it a little time and Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli, which is where the fragrance really shines. Longevity is moderate and the trail is noticeable without being loud. This one gets my highest praise — beautiful from start to finish.

   I picked up Ylang 49 (2015) mostly on a whim, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli, which is where the fragrance really shines. The heart is the best part for me: Ylang-Ylang and Patchouli feel carefully balanced. It wears beautifully in the office; I can still catch it on my scarf at the end of the day. Worth sampling before committing to a bottle.

   A friend passed me a decant of Ylang 49 (2015) and I wasn’t prepared for it. The heart is the best part for me: Ylang-Ylang and Patchouli feel carefully balanced. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli, which is where the fragrance really shines. Three sprays last me most of the day without ever becoming cloying. Well done — recommended if the notes appeal to you.

   Picked up a sample of Ylang 49 after reading the community buzz (2015). Give it a little time and Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli comes forward — smooth and well done. After about twenty minutes the heart settles into Ylang-Ylang with Patchouli, which is where the fragrance really shines. Two sprays are enough — it carries well without shouting. A very likeable composition that is easy to appreciate.
