Ylang Ylang Essential Oil Cananga Odourata 50ml

Rich, floral and softly tropical, this ylang ylang essential oil brings a rounded, sensual scent to quiet evening rituals, diffuser blends and carefully diluted body oils. It is steam distilled from the flowers of Cananga odorata, giving the aroma a full, petal-like character with a warm, lingering finish.

Sweet floral depth in the room

• The scent opens as a deep, creamy flower rather than a light garden note.
• Its tropical softness suits unhurried evenings, bath-side rituals and low-lit spaces.
• In a diffuser, it gives a rounded floral presence without needing a complex blend.
• For massage or body care, use it only when well diluted in a suitable carrier oil.
• It pairs naturally with many citrus, woody and resinous oils when you want a softer blend.

Flowers, steam and a full-bodied aroma

This essential oil comes from the flowers of the ylang ylang tree, extracted by steam distillation. That method carries the volatile aromatic compounds from the petals into a concentrated oil, preserving the flower's generous, unmistakably tropical character.

The flower of flowers

The name ylang ylang is often translated as ‘flower of flowers’. Across tropical parts of Asia, including the Philippines, Indonesia and the Polynesian Islands, the blossoms have long been valued for their scent and symbolic connection with beauty, celebration and romance. In Indonesia, ylang ylang flowers have traditionally been used to decorate the bed of newly married couples on their wedding night, a fragrant gesture marking intimacy and a new beginning.

How to use it with care

Add to a diffuser according to your diffuser’s instructions, or blend sparingly into a carrier oil before applying to skin. Always dilute before topical use, patch test first, and avoid contact with eyes.

Do not take internally. Avoid use during pregnancy, around young children, or around pets unless guided by a qualified professional. Store closed, upright and away from heat and direct light.
