Ylang Ylang Essential Oil

Description

Ylang ylang oil is extracted from Cananga odorata – also known as ‘flower of flowers’. Ylang ylang is a tall tropical tree about 20 metres high with large, tender, fragrant pink, mauve or yellow flowers. The yellow heads are viewed as being the best in terms of quality. Ylang Ylang oil is a comfortning oil that has traditionally been associated with sensuality and well being.

Ylang Ylang is best suited for use in the perfumery and skincare industries. It was a popular ingredient of hair preparations in Europe and was known as Macassar Oil. The word anti-macassar originated from this, since an anti-maccasar was used to keep hair oil from staining upholstered furniture. In Indonesia Ylang Ylang has traditionally been strewn on the beds of newlyweds.
