For me as a big frangipani-lover, I was curious to try this one. I paid much for a small sample...but well… This is how the fragrance speaks to me: There is a sharp synthetic note, maybe water hyacinth, and something that makes this scent unpleasant through all other notes. The Ylang-ylang is more dominant than the frangipani, you just got the idea of a frangipani behind anywhere in the background maybe, but not the full white creamy frangipanis which can be found in Bissoumine's Nuit de Iles for example. So far I am mostly disappointed by this perfume by Chantecaille and not sure if worth the high price. It is understandable, why some people might like it, as it's not bad, but for me as a highly sensitive person, there is just an unpleased aura around some notes, that make it overall not suitable for me. And after a short time wearing it, the Ylang-ylang is gone and there is just the sharp powdery note that is left on my skin. If you are in search of a nature realistic white frangipani scent, then this probably not for you, but it might resemble the pink frangipani or works different according to your chemistry.
