I like the aroma of this Ylang ylang and use this variety in my hair shampoo and facial cream. It is known to be helpful with acne and hair growth and has a calming influence. A very nice quality #3!

Sensual and intoxicating scent – amazing! I purchased Ylang Ylang #2 and Ylang Ylang #3 and I am unable to tell the difference between them – the scents seem identical.
