Additional Information
Ylang Ylang essential oil is extracted from the flowers of Cananga odorata and is often referred to as the “flower of flowers.” There are several grades of ylang ylang oil—‘extra’, ‘first’, ‘second’, ‘third’, and ‘complete’. The first four are fractional distillates collected at different stages of the distillation process, while Ylang Ylang ‘complete’ is a blend of all fractions, offering a more rounded and balanced aromatic profile.
It is valued in aromatherapy for its rich, exotic floral aroma and is commonly used in relaxation, skincare, and hair care blends.
