The review
Strong contender. That is where Shelton Ilang 62 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Ylang 49.
Emper sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Ylang 49's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $43 per 100ml it costs 79% less than Ylang 49 — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Emper publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
