How to Wear Ylang Ylang

Apply ylang ylang to pulse points and let it develop for fifteen minutes before deciding if you need more.

Most people wear ylang ylang like they're trying to announce their presence from three rooms away when the whole point is to smell like you naturally emit something intoxicating.

1. Start with less than you think. Ylang ylang is potent and can turn overwhelming fast. One spray to the wrist or a dab behind one ear is enough to start. The scent will bloom as it warms on your skin.
2. Choose your application points strategically. Pulse points work best because the warmth helps the fragrance develop properly. Try wrists, behind ears, or the base of your throat. Avoid areas where you'll constantly smell it yourself.
3. Wait before adding more. Ylang ylang has a complex development cycle that takes about fifteen minutes to fully reveal itself. What starts heavy and sweet often settles into something more balanced and wearable.
