Ylang Ylang Extra Esssential Oil
|
 Botanical Name: Cananga odorata
Plant Part: Flower
Extraction Method: Steam
Origin: France
Description: Cananga odorata or ylang ylang, is a member of the annonaceae family of plants growing in tropical Asia. Ylang oil is distilled from the cananga tree's greenish-yellow, starfish-shaped flowers, produced year-round.
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. The ylang ylang extra is drawn off during the first phase and is generally considered the best quality for aromatherapy and perfumery. However, grades I, II & III should not be considered inferior, and the premier grade is so expensive that it is rarely produced.
Color: Pale Yellow to Golden
Common Uses: Due to its ability to anchor perfumes and blend with a variety of other scents, ylang ylang oil is primarily used by fragrance manufactures today. In aromatherapy, ylang ylang is considered to be an aphrodisiac and is often used as a substitute for the more expensive jasmine. It also evokes feelings of deep, languid calm that melt away anxiety, tension and stress. Ylang tends to predominate, so it should be used in small amounts on its own or when blending with other oils.
Consistency: Light
Note: Base to Middle
Strength of Aroma: Medium
Blends well with: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lavender, Neroli, Rosewood and Sandalwood.
Aromatic Scent: Ylang Ylang essential oil ha a sweet, exotic, floral scent that is one of the most sought after aromas.
History: Ylang ylang is often referred to as "poor man's jasmine". In Indonesia, Ylang ylang flower petals are strewn upon the bed of newlywed couples. Ylang ylang was a popular ingredient of hair preparations in Europe and was known as Macassar oil.
Cautions: Ylang Ylang can cause sensitivity on some people and excessive use of it may lead to headaches and nausea.

I cannot keep my nose out of this bottle, I add a drop of vanilla to make this an out of this world bath product, not that it needs anything so exotic and sensual all on it's own.

This Ylang Ylang Extra is a little pricey, but worth every penny. It blends well with Palmarosa and Cedarwood for a very nice and relaxing Transition blend. Very pleased with this oil.

Strongly evocative of jasmine, this ylang ylang is very high quality. An excellent oil for acne and oily skin.
