Songes Eau de Parfum vs Narcotic Venus

The r/fragrance community has divided opinions on ylang-ylang, with many passionate advocates praising its luxurious, fruity-floral character, while others find it polarizing due to its banana, rubber, or cleaning product associations. The consensus acknowledges that perception of the note is highly subjective and greatly influenced by which extraction fraction is used in a given fragrance.

Narcotic Venus is a polarizing, intensely floral fragrance with impressive development and longevity that transforms from a mild opening into an intoxicating cloud of tuberose and white florals. While community members praise its addictive sensuality and performance, it's unanimously considered too powerful and off-putting for workplace environments, making it best suited for evening and intimate occasions.
