On the island of Nosy Be, just off the west coast of Madagascar, is a perfumer’s paradise. The island of Nosy Be is famous for its production of high-quality materials used for perfume due to its agreeable climate and abundantly mineral-rich soil. It is here, Perris Monte Carlo has found a unique quality of Ylang Ylang that is unlike any other. The ylang ylang essential oil found in Ylang Ylang Nosy Be is called “Extra”, it is 10 times more viscous, more fragrant and more volatile than the purest ylang ylang from a traditional extraction. Perris Monte Carlo’s tribute to this magnificent raw material uses only “Extra” Ylang Ylang Extract from Nosy Be, softly blended with delicate additions of lemon, grapefruit and cardamom to remind us of the wonderful burst of fragrance that emanates from freshly collected flowers.
