Average Product Rating: 5 / 5 (Based on 22 Customer Reviews)

Botanical Name: Cananga Odorata
Plant Part: Flowers
Extraction Method: Steam Distilled
Origin: France
Description: Ylang-ylang Essential Oil is extracted from Cananga odorata – also known as flower of flowers. It is a tall tropical tree about 20meters (60 feet) high with large, tender, fragrant pink, mauve or yellow flowers. The yellow heads are viewed as being the best in terms of quality. There are several grades of Ylang-ylang essential oil which are extracted at different times during the flower's lengthy distillation. These grades are referred to as extra, I, II, & III.
Color: Pale to golden yellow clear liquid.
Common Uses: Ylang-ylang Essential Oil can assist with problems such as high blood pressure, rapid breathing and heartbeat, nervous conditions, as well as impotence and frigidity. Spiritual practitioners claim that the users of Ylang-ylang are those who have been drawn to the oil, and who in turn, suit it. Ylang-ylang Essential Oil is best suited for use in the perfumery and skincare industries.
Consistency: Thin
Note: Base
Strength of Aroma: Medium
Blends well with: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lavender, Neroli, Rosewood and Sandalwood.
Aromatic Scent: Ylang-ylang Essential Oil has a sweet, exotic, floral scent that is one of the most sought after aromas.
History: In Indonesia, Ylang-ylang flower petals are strewn upon the bed of newlywed couples. It was a popular ingredient of hair preparations in Europe and was known as Macassar oil. The word anti-macassar originated from this, since an anti-maccasar was used to keep hair oil from staining upholstered furniture.
Cautions: Ylang-ylang Essential Oil can cause sensitivity on some people and excessive use of it may lead to headaches and nausea.

A drop or two of ylang ylang and lavender in a bubble bath can change your radio station! Also great with skin care mixtures that contain objectionable smells like neem or carrot seed.

A little overwhelming on its own, LOVELY when blended, especially with citrus. This is my splurge for myself, I'm going to be greedy and not share!

I purchased a pound of this stuff because I knew it was a hot commodity and would be great. What I thought I knew was that a little goes a long way. I was wrong, minute amounts of this Ylang, that at first seemed insignificant, will go a hell of a long way. I have made a rule, from now on I will use this Ylang as sort of an aroma accelerant or an uncanny aromatic lagniappe that leaves folks guessing but pleasantly surprised. I'm glad that I bought the one pounder because this will go into just about every ladies perfume that I make and some of the cologne's too.

Ylang Ylang has a beautiful floral scent. I use it in my hand creams shampoos and conditioner.

Next to Ylang Ylang Complete, this is my favorite Ylang Ylang as it is exquistely almost painfully exotic and strong floral scent will only require a small amount for a truly remarkable floral addition to any blend. A MUST HAVE for any aromatherapist. Use with caution as over-use can cause headaches! Wonderful quality.
