About this product
The scent, close up
- A full floral aroma with a warm, sweet edge, suited to moments when you want the room to feel softer.
- Strongly fragrant rather than shy, so a little is usually enough in blends and diffusers.
- Beautiful in slow evening rituals, especially when paired with gentle lighting and unhurried space.
- Its perfume-like depth makes it useful for homemade fragrance blends, bath oils and massage preparations.
- A natural choice for anyone drawn to lush, tropical florals rather than crisp citrus or green herbal scents.
Flowers, steam and fragrance
Ylang ylang comes from a large tree known for yellow, strongly scented flowers with long trailing petals. This oil is made from the flowers by steam distillation.
The botanical name is Cananga odorata. This ylang ylang essential oil is sourced from Comoros.
Ylang ylang in scent tradition
The name ylang ylang is often translated from Malay as ‘flower of flowers’, a fitting phrase for such an unmistakably floral oil. The blossoms were traditionally scattered on the marriage bed of newly married couples, linking the scent with intimacy and celebration. Modern perfumery values it for its sweet, exotic floral body. In aromatherapy culture, ylang ylang is traditionally associated with relaxation and sensuality.
Ways to use the aroma
Add a small amount to a diffuser, blend into a carrier oil for massage, or mix into bath oil before adding to water. For skin use, always dilute first and patch test before wider application.
Use sparingly at first, as ylang ylang is naturally strong.
