The review
Strong contender. That is where Ylang 49 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Ylang 49.
Palermo Perfumes 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 $23 it costs 89% less than Ylang 49.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

What it is chasing: ylang-ylang, gardenia and narcissus up top, jasmine and orris in the middle, patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood underneath — the shape of Le Labo Ylang 49.

Waxy ylang and gardenia over mossy patchouli, a 1970s powerhouse rebuilt with modern restraint.
