Nosy Be (or Nossi-Bé) is an island off the northwest coast of Madagascar, commonly known as the "scented island" due to the abundance of extremely high-quality perfume materials grown on its northern half. Of these ingredients, the ylang-ylang grown by Robertet is among the most unique and treasured. During an arduous 12-hour distillation process, the only 6kg of ylang ylang essential oil is produced from every 300kg of raw flowers used, and the resulting oil is spectacular- creamy, fruity, carnal and exotic.
Perris Monte Carlo Ylang Ylang Nosy Be, produced only from the tiny portion (generally under 2%) of each distillation determined to meet the "Extra" quality designation, is a spectacular floral, showcasing every bit of ylang's distinct and versatile character. This oil is blended expertly at each stage of the fragrance- in the top, with delicate amounts of citrus to bring out the freshness and energy; in the heart, with rose, jasmine and orange blossom for warm, floral depth; and in the base, with seductive, exotic woods and warm musks and resins to highlight its creamy, mouthwatering depth. Sensual, elegant and seductive, Ylang Ylang Nosy Be is a truly remarkable and unique floral of untold complexity.
