Ylang ylang flower

Ylang ylang essential oil is steam distilled from the star-shaped flowers of the tropical Cananga odorata tree, yielding an oil with sweet, rich, spicy aroma, high in the chemical compounds of germancrene-D and β-caryophyllene.

Ylang ylang is frequently used in luxurious hair and skin products, for its scent and nourishing and protective properties that promote health skin and hair.  It is used extensively in making perfumes, as well as in aromatherapy.  Similar to jasmine, ylang ylang has been used for centuries, in religious and wedding ceremonies.

In aromatherapy, ylang ylang is used to lessen tension and stress, and to promote a positive outlook.  Its aroma lifes the mood, while having a calming effect.  It also helps to balance hormones.

Due to ylang ylang‘s powerful scent, only a small amount is needed for application and diffusion.  It blends well with bergamot, geranium, grapefruit and vetiver.
