Ylang Ylang by Croatian Perfume House
Ylang Ylang is a women's fragrance by Croatian Perfume House, launched in 2017.
The composition belongs to the floral family and is presented in extrait de parfum concentration, so it smells rich, expressive, and designed to make a noticeable impression.
The release is part of the Just Wow Croatian Perfume House collection — a vibrant part of the brand's perfume line.
Founded in 2017, Croatian Perfume House has become a fresh voice in Croatian niche perfumery, combining recognizable European elegance with a modern approach to fragrance creation.
Ylang Ylang was created by perfumer Tomislav Vrbanec.
In his interpretation, the name evokes not a promise of a single tropical note, but the image of a voluminous floral bouquet: elegant, well composed, and distinctly feminine.
Character and Development on the Skin
The fragrance opens fresh and radiant, then moves into a soft floral heart and gradually becomes deeper, warmer, and more textured.
In the drydown, the composition takes on a noble woody-earthy character, while musk helps make the scent feel cohesive and long-lasting.
Ylang Ylang has very strong sillage: just a small amount is enough for the fragrance to remain noticeable around its wearer.
This is an option for those who enjoy expressive perfumes with character rather than intimate, close-to-the-skin scents.
The composition is especially suitable for cool weather, evenings, formal occasions, or any situation in which you want to emphasize your individuality.
The fragrance can also unfold beautifully in warm weather, but it should be applied sparingly, as the extrait concentration and very strong sillage can quickly create an intense cloud of scent.
How to Wear Ylang Ylang
The manufacturer has not specified precise recommendations for applying it to skin or clothing.
A practical approach is to start with one spray on the skin, assess its development after 15–20 minutes, and add another if necessary; on clothing, the fragrance is best applied particularly cautiously and from a distance.
Ylang Ylang will appeal to lovers of classic floral perfumery who value noticeable presence, depth, and a long-lasting trail.
For a similar mood, you might explore Lanvin Arpège: it is not a copy, but a reference point with a similarly elegant floral character.
Its Place in the Collection
Ylang Ylang demonstrates how Croatian Perfume House works with feminine floral images, giving them greater density and expressiveness through extrait concentration.
This is a fragrance with a distinct personality, capable of becoming a striking accent to an outfit and a topic of conversation among perfume lovers.
