So lately I have been craving vanillas and ambers, but here is the conundrum, I don't want my winter/autumn ambers and vanillas, they are too heavy and spicy. So while looking through my samples yesterday I ended up finding Estee Lauder's Private Collection Amber Ylang Ylang, and this really seems to be hitting the spot. It is light, airy, enveloping, and gentle, makes you just want to relax in its glow. Lovely stuff. On other notes, cats can be exceptional wackjobs sometimes, like now. image provided by artnet.com

There are many different labdanum absolutes available.
Labdanum has a typically balsamic odour, rather flowery, herbaceous, amber-like and very tenacious. The absolute derived from labdanum from plant Cistus creticus, is the finest, the most amber like and the least coloured.
I don't know the private collections very well... they seem like they have a big following! amber ylan ylang should be a very sensual combination!
Happy May Day!
Chypre, true there is many variations of labdanum. And thank you.
Rose, I highly suggest you check out the Private Collections they are really beautifully made.
