Incense in The Wind: Night Queen

Night Queen is a incense name I have encountered a few times, and hadn't really paid much attention to it. I looked it up once, considered if it was a variation of Parijatha - the night-blooming jasmine, and ended up concluding it was probably based on the scent of the night flowering cactus known as Queen of the Night. I've looked again, a little more closely this time, and I now suspect it is a different night-scented jasmine - Lady of the Night; known in India as Raat ki Raani or "Night Queen". I land on that conclusion due to the Ittar Store website post, which says: "Night Queen fragrance typically includes notes of Night Queen, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and other floral notes such as rose and lily, as well as a hint of musk or vanilla for a deeper, more sensual aroma", which seems a fair summary of the incense scents I have encountered with the Night Queen name.
