YaYo

YaYo – a bold statement in scent, born from the pulse of midnight Miami, where neon lights slice through humid air and the air thrums with indulgence. As the first release in the Miami Vice Series, YaYo captures the provocative allure of the city’s hidden glamour—dangerous, hypnotic, and impossible to ignore.

At the heart of YaYo lies a narcotic cocaine accord: not literal, but a perfumer’s fantasy—crafted to evoke the rush of power, seduction, and raw adrenaline. It's sharp, crystalline, and addictive, a daring artistic interpretation of the high life. But what truly anchors the composition is one of the rarest and most difficult ingredients to acquire within modern perfumery: Orris Butter with 80% Irones.

Orris, derived from the roots of the iris plant, must be aged for three to five years before its scent is even released. From there, isolating irones—the aroma compounds responsible for the powdery, buttery, violet-like scent—becomes a complex feat of extraction. At 80% irones, the orris in YaYo is nearly unheard of in contemporary perfumery. It’s velvety, shimmering, and quietly opulent.

The composition opens with a jolt of juicy raspberry and the vibrant sparkle of Italian grapefruit, cutting through the air like the first crack of laughter at a rooftop party. Chinese geranium adds a green-rose sharpness, while expressed lime gives an electric citrus twist. Laced through this is a haze of brown ambergris, salinic and sun-warmed, diffusing through the top like ocean mist on tanned skin.

As the scent unfolds, the cocaine accord takes center stage—cool, mineral, and sheer with an intoxicating gleam. It doesn’t shout. It stuns. Supporting it is the ultra-rare orris butter, whose powdery texture is contrasted and enriched by exotic florals: blue lotus and pink lotus tuberose hum with aquatic sensuality, while Turkish rose and French osmanthus add petal-soft depth—one rich and jammy, the other fruity and animalic. Thai frangipani brings a creamy, tropical glow, and neroli offers a thread of crisp white blossom that lifts the bouquet with elegance.

The base of YaYo is where the fantasy becomes firmly rooted in depth. Wild Bangladesh oud, earthy and dry, mingles with the rich, fleshy tone of black meat sandalwood. Sweet Mongolian musk adds an animalic warmth, sensual and raw, while frankincense CO2 glows with an incense, resinous halo. The final touch of Choya Nakh, distilled from roasted seashells, adds a subtle mineral smokiness—evoking luxury, danger, and heat rising off pavement after rain.

YaYo is opulence on edge—lush, indulgent, and laced with risk! It does not apologize. It commands. As the flagship of the Miami Vice Series, it sets the tone for what’s to come: fragrances that capture not just the mood of a place, but its secrets—the shadows behind the sun, the glamour behind the grit.

With its narcotic heart, rare ingredients, and hypnotic evolution, YaYo is a high-contrast masterpiece. It moves from sparkling citrus to narcotic florals to dark, addictive woods—each stage more provocative than the last. Like the city it’s inspired by, YaYo is electric, unforgettable, and always just a little dangerous.
