The review
Cananga XLIX scores 7.1 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Ylang 49.
Perfume Parlour 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.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 49% less than Ylang 49 — the cheapest of 1 twins we can price.
The match is claimed by more than one source, which is as firm as a pairing gets.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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.
What it's built to smell like
Le Labo Ylang 49 is ylang-ylang, gardenia and narcissus at first, jasmine and orris at its heart and patchouli, vetiver and sandalwood at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Base

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

Of the 2 twins of Le Labo Ylang 49 we can price, Cananga XLIX is the cheapest per 100ml.
