Tuberose & Ylang of Pashmina
Built for cold-weather floral lovers, pH Fragrances Tuberose & Ylang of Pashmina delivers serious projection and warmth. Yann Vasnier pairs indolic tuberose with banana-ripe ylang-ylang and Madagascar cloves, grounding the bloom in incense, sandalwood, and sweet benzoin. Bitter orange gives a brief citrus sparkle, but the scent rapidly settles into a plush, spicy floral coat. It shines on crisp October nights, formal dinners, and outdoor winter walks where cold air tames its thick floral sillage. If you want a bold white floral that shuns soapy clean clichés, this oriental floral fills that slot.

Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
Tuberose & Ylang of Pashmina is a dense oriental floral with a buttery, slightly nutty, and resinous texture. Sharp bitter orange and ginger open the fragrance before giving way to an intense heart of indolic tuberose, jasmine, and warm Madagascar cloves. The base settles into creamy ylang-ylang, golden benzoin, smoky incense, and sweet vanilla.
Main Accords
10 MAPPEDThe white floral accord dominates early with a rich, buttery tuberose impact that feels heavy and lush. As Madagascar cloves activate, the warm spicy accord creates a dry, medicinal counterweight that cuts through the floral creaminess. Finally, the amber and vanilla base accords warm up on skin, coating the yellow ylang-ylang in a resinous, slightly smoky sheen.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“pH Fragrances Tuberose & Ylang of Pashmina Full Wear Review”
Tuberose & Ylang of Pashmina opens with a sharp, brisk contrast. A flash of bitter orange and freshly grated ginger hits first, bringing a bright citrus bite that lasts only a few minutes. Almost immediately, the white flowers push through the top notes. Tuberose arrives with a heavy, indolic weight, accompanied by a distinct touch of jasmine. The opening feels thick and unapologetic, setting aside clean laundry florals for something far more potent.
As the initial citrus fade completes, Madagascar cloves take over the heart. The spice adds a dry, medicinal heat that wraps around the creamy tuberose, preventing the floral core from turning into generic white soap. Over the next hour, yellow ylang-ylang emerges to smooth out the sharp edges of the clove. The dry-down transforms the fragrance into a warm amber blanket on skin. Benzoin, sweet vanilla, dark incense, and sandalwood build a dense foundation that lingers for hours.
On warm skin, the white floral and warm spicy accords engage in a fascinating tug of war. Rather than melting into a seamless mush, the tuberose and Madagascar cloves maintain their individual identities throughout the wear. The tuberose delivers a buttery, slightly nutty texture, while the clove provides a dark, woody bite underneath. The incense and benzoin stay close to the skin, projecting a subtle smoky sweetness whenever your body temperature rises.
Performance is where this composition shines. You get eight to ten hours of solid wear from two sprays, with sillage projecting beyond arm's length for the first three hours. It thrives in crisp autumn weather and cold winter nights when dense florals can cut through frigid air. High summer heat makes the indolic tuberose feel heavy and stifling, so reserve this bottle for temperatures below sixty degrees Fahrenheit.
This perfume suits confident floral enthusiasts who appreciate weight, texture, and spice in their fragrances. While marketed as unisex, the intense tuberose presence leans slightly traditional, though the clove and incense base gives it plenty of grounding structure for anyone to wear. Beginners expecting a light, watery orange blossom will find this too intense, but fans of opulent oriental florals will appreciate its depth.
Yann Vasnier constructed a bold, uncompromising fragrance that rewards patience on skin. The combination of indolic tuberose, sharp Madagascar cloves, and golden ylang-ylang creates a memorable cold-weather statement piece. Test a sample on your skin before committing to a full bottle to ensure the strong clove opening aligns with your personal taste.
