Coeur d'Ylang
by Comptoir Sud Pacifique
Coeur d'Ylang by Comptoir Sud Pacifique is a luxurious, creamy floral with a distinctly tropical and sun-drenched character. It opens with a soft dash of bergamot, which quickly fades, giving way to a rich blend of ylang-ylang and frangipani. The fragrance has a rounded, balsamic sweetness from vanilla and Peru balsam, creating a warm, radiant dry-down reminiscent of suntan lotion or soft serve ice cream. The floral notes are not airy or delicate—they are dense, buttery, and deeply aromatic. Longevity is moderate to long, with the initial floral burst fading into a more vanilla-centered, skin-scent-like trail. Several users note that the scent evolves over time, becoming more balanced and refined after a few weeks, suggesting a perfume that stabilizes with use.
