Description
Ylang Ylang essential oil is steam distilled from the fresh flowers of Cananga odorata var. genuina, grown in Madagascar. This is the complete grade, from a single uninterrupted distillation, with an intensely sweet, tropical fruity-floral aroma and a soft woody undertone. It is a rich middle note.
Its warm floral scent is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with relaxation, a calm mood and emotional wellbeing, and it is a popular romantic, sensual note in diffuser blends. It is powerful, so a little goes a long way, and it softens beautifully with bergamot, grapefruit, lavender and sandalwood. It can irritate skin and eyes and may cause an allergic reaction, so always dilute well, patch test first and avoid it in pregnancy.
