About Wylde Ivy Being Cleo
Wylde Ivy Being Cleo is a women's woody fragrance in parfum, or extrait, concentration, released in 2011.
The composition was created for those who enjoy expressive, enveloping and noticeable fragrances with a soft gourmand mood.
The release reflects the character of Wylde Ivy, an independent American niche brand founded in 2006 and known for its atmospheric, emotionally evocative compositions.
The name Being Cleo sounds cinematic and immediately sets the scene: a confident heroine who has no desire to blend into the background.
This is a richly expressive fragrance with a distinct personality, where a woody foundation meets milky softness, vanilla warmth and the radiance of white flowers.
The Fragrance Pyramid and Composition Character
The formula combines amber, jasmine, milk, white musk, vanilla and a woody accord.
Together, they create an amber-gourmand profile with musky softness and a white-floral nuance.
Although no distinct top, middle or base notes are specified, the composition feels cohesive: the accords gradually intertwine, forming a dense, creamy cloud.
At the heart of the fragrance is the contrast between sensual jasmine and a comforting milky accord.
The floral facet does not become overly sheer, while milk and vanilla give it roundness, sweetish velvety softness and an almost skin-like sense of intimacy.
Amber and woody nuances support the composition, making it deeper and warmer.
Sillage and Wearability
In terms of performance, Wylde Ivy Being Cleo has very strong sillage.
The extrait unfolds intensely, making it especially well suited to those who like their perfume to be noticeable and leave a distinctive trail.
On the skin, it smells sensual and warm, while in cool air its amber-vanilla facet becomes even more comforting.
This is a feminine fragrance for evenings, special occasions and cooler seasons.
It is suitable for a date, a festive dinner, an intimate event or a walk when you want to emphasize your mood and individuality.
Because of its high concentration and strong sillage, it is best to begin with a small amount: the brand does not specify an exact dosage for skin and clothing, so it is worth adjusting it gradually, guided by your own perception and the intensity of the development.
The Perfumer and Its Place in the Brand's Style
The composition was created by Ashlee Krammes, a perfumer and creator associated with the Wylde Ivy aesthetic.
Being Cleo clearly demonstrates an approach centered on building an emotional fragrance: there is no pursuit of cool minimalism, but rather a soft texture, richness and a sense of a personal story.
In its overall character, Being Cleo combines woody, amber, gourmand, musky and white-floral accents.
This combination makes the fragrance multilayered and memorable: it can seem sweet, creamy, floral and warm all at once, while retaining a confident woody foundation.
