Dior's François Demachy looks at the production of jasmine in Grasse, and then (below the jump) he goes to Nosy Be in Madagascar to look at the production of ylang ylang. (See also: Le Jasmin en Inde, The Land of Bergamot and Rose de Mai.)

Watched the ylang clip, which makes me wish I were in Madagascar right now. Doubt J’Adore in Joy would be a satisfying ylang-infused scent for me…sounds too salty/peachy. Would love to see NST do a quality ylang of the season series!
But are there really 20 fantastic ylang fragrances? I can’t think of that many, unless you’re willing to include scents where it plays a lesser role.
Erin did do a list of 5:

Thanks–makes me a bit sorry I missed trying Amaranthine!
