In the aromatic universe, ylang-ylang exists in the planes of dark juicy green, intense vanilla and intoxicating florals.
Perris is fascinated by nature’s fragrant treasures, and make perfume materials THE story of each of their perfume. So much so, that they experiment with the same perfume material in two different perfume architectures: eau de parfum and extait.
How does this work? In Ylang Ylang Nosy Be EdP, the ylang-ylang’s floral potential is encouraged with mint and jasmine. The EdP is a rich powdery white floral.
The extrait version of Ylang Ylang Nosy Be has more happening in the base. The perfumer added more dark musk and vanilla, and this way the perfume became darker, woodier, even boozier.
As always Perris uses the best natural extracts perfumers can obtain. Their ylang-ylang comes from the tiny Nosy Be island north of Madagascar.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close range and low light, where its floral richness can unfold without feeling airy or decorative. It suits a composed presence: polished, intimate, and slightly mysterious, with the kind of warmth that lingers on fabric and skin rather than announcing itself across a room.
How to wear
Best worn in cooler weather or in the evening, when its dense floral base can breathe without becoming heavy. One or two sprays are enough; the extrait concentration gives it a smooth, persistent trail, with the ylang-ylang reading creamy and luminous at first before settling into muskier, woodier warmth.
Who it’s for
For lovers of old-school florals with depth, texture and a slightly shadowed finish. It will appeal to anyone who likes ylang-ylang in a more sensual, less tropical mode, especially if they enjoy musky, woody florals with a vintage feel.
The nose
Gian Luca Perris is the founder and creative director behind Perris Monte Carlo, a house built around the beauty of raw materials and the craft of classical perfumery. His work tends to foreground a single ingredient or origin, then shape it into a polished, textural composition that feels both natural and carefully composed. Rather than chasing effects, Perris focuses on material quality, balance and the personality of the ingredient itself. Ylang Ylang Nosy Be Extrait fits that approach closely: it is less a decorative floral than a study in how ylang-ylang changes when given a darker, muskier, more resinous base.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo is a house devoted to the material itself: natural ingredients, traditional extraction, and compositions that let a raw essence remain recognisable in the finished perfume. Its style is restrained rather than ornate, with luxury expressed through sourcing, craftsmanship and clarity of form.
Ylang Ylang Nosy Be Extrait’s concept
Ylang Ylang Nosy Be Extrait belongs to Perris Monte Carlo’s Extracts Collection, which revisits prized natural materials in richer, more concentrated form. Here the ylang-ylang from Nosy Be, off Madagascar, is pushed into a darker register: more musk, more vanilla, more wood, and a noticeably deeper, more opulent finish than the Eau de Parfum counterpart.
Extra info
The fragrance highlights ylang-ylang from Nosy Be, a small island north of Madagascar known for prized natural materials. It is part of Perris Monte Carlo’s Extracts Collection, a line built around concentrated studies of signature ingredients.
