La Yuqawam Femme

La Yuqawam Femme is a dark, rich fragrance with a strong gourmand and incense-driven profile, closely resembling Tom Ford's Black Orchid. It opens with bright citrus and incense notes, quickly deepening into a lush, spicy core of cinnamon, vanilla, and ylang-ylang, layered over a creamy, musky base with sandalwood and amber. The drydown reveals a graceful, powdery sweetness with a warm, slightly animalic depth, evoking long-worn vintage perfume and soft leather. It’s not a subtle scent—it projects moderately to strongly, with notable longevity, often lasting through the night, and many users report the scent improving over time as it settles, with the harshness giving way to a mellow, elegant warmth. While some find the initial burst overwhelming or unpleasantly medicinal, others describe it as divine, referencing its resemblance to beloved older perfumes, mood, or even old books. It’s best suited to colder seasons and nighttime wear, and while it shares characteristics with Black Orchid, many feel it’s more refined, but still far from neutral or safe for all. A strong, bold choice for those seeking perfume with personality and presence.
