Key Ingredients

100% Pure Cananga odorata (Ylang Ylang) flower oil

Our organic Ylang Ylang essential oil originates from Madagascar. It's extracted using steam distillation, where the oil is drawn from the flowers of the tropical tree, to produce an oil with a medium consistency and a very faint yellow tinge.

Product Details

Often called one of nature’s most powerful aphrodisiacs, Ylang Ylang essential oil has an intensely sweet, exotic floral aroma with a soft musky undertone that feels luxurious, sensual and comforting. It’s perfect for creating an atmosphere of warmth and intimacy, and can also help to balance oily hair and skin. 

Emotionally
Ylang Ylang helps to soothe the emotions, calm irritability, and encourage feelings of sensuality and self-connection. Its comforting scent can also lift low moods and ease tension after a stressful day. It is considered to be a powerful aphrodisiac.

Physically
Ylang Ylang can help to balance oily hair and skin, gently clarifying to remove excess oil and impurities. It is also thought to ease the symptoms of physical tiredness linked to pre-menstrual syndrome.

Around the home
If you’re planning a romantic evening at home, Ylang Ylang can be used to create a sensual and romantic atmosphere. Simply add a few drops of essential oil to your diffuser and let the luxurious scent fill the room to lower your inhibitions and encourage intimacy.

Ylang Ylang essential oil has an exotic, floral and intensely sweet aroma.

Aromatically, Ylang Ylang is a base note essential oil, the longest lasting scent in a blend. It blends well with Bergamot, Lavender or Clary Sage.

Meaning "flower of flowers", Ylang Ylang is a flower that grows on tall trees on the tropical islands of the Indian Ocean and has been used by the indigenous population for centuries in skin care. The flowers can grow in three different colours (yellow, pink and mauve), and all have thick, highly scented petals. However, the yellow flowers are known to yield the best-quality essential oil.

Ylang Ylang has a different distillation process than most other essential oils. The flowers can be distilled up to four or five times. The first distillate is called ‘extra’ which is used in the perfume industry, followed by ‘fractions’, named 1, 2 or 3. We use the first distillation for our essential oil, which contains the finest-quality fragrance and has the most therapeutic value in aromatherapy.
