Le Labo YLANG 49

Floral, woody, earthy, mossy, and patchouli-rich.

Key Fragrance Notes: Ylang-Ylang, Tahitian Gardenia, Patchouli, Oakmoss, Vetiver, Sandalwood, Benzoin

YLANG 49 opens with ylang-ylang and Tahitian gardenia for a lush white-floral effect before patchouli and oakmoss pull the composition toward a darker chypre structure. Vetiver reinforces the earthy dryness while sandalwood and benzoin bring smooth woody and balsamic warmth through the base. The result is voluptuous but grounded, balancing tropical florals against moss, patchouli, vetiver, woods, and resin rather than presenting ylang-ylang as a soft creamy floral.

Summary

YLANG 49 is a lush chypre-floral Eau de Parfum that moves quickly beyond a straightforward tropical floral. Ylang-ylang and Tahitian gardenia create the voluptuous opening while patchouli and oakmoss add earthy depth. Vetiver reinforces the dryness, and sandalwood with benzoin give the base smooth woody warmth. The result is floral but grounded, suited to shoppers who want ylang-ylang framed by moss, patchouli, vetiver, woods, and resin rather than a soft sweet floral treatment.

About the Brand

Le Labo is a modern fragrance house founded in 2006 and known for a laboratory-style approach centered on raw materials, in-store personalization, understated presentation, and named perfumer authorship. Its Classic Collection and City Exclusives explore individual materials and atmospheres rather than repeating one fixed house accord. YLANG 49 represents the house’s lush chypre-floral vocabulary. Ylang-ylang and Tahitian gardenia form the floral center while patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood, and benzoin build a darker earthy base. The contrast between voluptuous flowers and mossy woods fits Le Labo’s preference for familiar materials treated with textural tension and a less conventional, more personal finish.
