Botanical Name:Cananga odorataPlant Part:FlowersExtraction Method:Steam DistilledOrigin:FranceDescription:Cananga odorata or Ylang-ylang, is a member of the annonaceae family of plants growing in tropical Asia. Ylang-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 to golden yellow clear liquid.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-ylang tends to predominate, so it should be used in small amounts on its own or when blending with other oils.Consistency:ThinNote:MiddleStrength of Aroma:MediumBlends well with:Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lavender, Neroli, Rosewood, and Sandalwood.Aromatic Scent:Ylang-ylang Extra Essential Oil has a sweet, exotic, floral scent that is one of the most sought after aromas.
