Ylang Ylang Cananga odorata

Aromatic Description:  Tropical sweetness mingled with slightly spicy notes and wrapped with richly floral nuances.

Ylang ylang carries the lush enchantment of the tropics, offering a sensual, deeply aromatic presence that has long been woven into the cultural and spiritual traditions of Southeast Asia. Its golden blossoms have adorned wedding chambers in Indonesia and been fashioned into fragrant garlands in the Philippines, where their scent is used to invite blessings and soften the boundary between the physical and the sacred. Over time, this evocative flower traveled to Europe, inspiring perfumers with its exotic, multilayered aroma.

Ylang ylang essential oil is produced through multiple stages of steam distillation, each capturing a different facet of its complexity. Our ylang ylang “complete” blends these distillation grades into a balanced, full-bodied fragrance that supports relaxation, sense of joy, and a confident presence.

Body

Skincare- Add balance and luxury to your skincare routine with ylang ylang essential oil. This tropical treasure is favored by those who need support with combination or acne prone skin. Adding a drop of ylang ylang to your moisturizer boots your glow while its uplifting and confident aroma encourages your natural beauty to shine thorough.

Cardiovascular Support- Much like a tropical retreat, ylang ylang awakens a sense of carefree relaxation. When emotional strain builds up in the body, the intoxicating, fragrant presence of this oil will help to ease the stress and guide the nervous system back into balance- helping to restore circulatory integrity.

Mind

Self-Love- Ylang ylang essential oil offers a guiding light when we find ourselves navigating a fog of thoughts and attitudes that condemn our sense of self-worth. This euphoric and balsamic aroma is a balm that sinks deeply into the heart, reminding us of our inherent value. Ylang ylang can help us feel grounded in our worthiness, conjuring self-esteem and fearless self-expression.

Stress and Anxiety Relief- The relaxing and balancing qualities of ylang ylang essential oil evoke a deep sense of calm during moments of tension and anxiety. This rich, heady floral soothes the nervous system while bringing our awareness to the present, giving us the freedom to navigate stressful experiences with an objective perspective.

Spirit

Transmuting Destructive Behaviors- It’s easy to harden ourselves in response to disappointment, conflict, or the fear of being misunderstood. Over time, this protective tension can color the way we perceive others. Ylang ylang invites us to soften these rigid edges. Its lush, enveloping aroma invites us to surrender enmity and reminds us that compassion is a form of strength that restores connection where defensiveness once reigned. As we allow its sweetness to settle into the heart, we’re encouraged to release the critical narratives we’ve formed and fall into the flow of unconditional love. In this embrace, ylang ylang helps transmute anger, frustration, and despair into acceptance and compassion.

Safety and Shelf-Life

Safety:

Ylang ylang essential oil is generally nontoxic, however topical applications of high concentration may cause skin irritation. We recommend a maximum of 1% dilution for adults (1 drop per teaspoon of carrier oil).

Over exposure to the strong, heady scent of ylang ylang may trigger headaches and nausea in some individuals- especially children.

Many children find the aroma of ylang ylang to be too strong, however when blended with linalool rich essential oils such as lavender or petitgrain, ylang ylang can create a soothing atmosphere for them. For children under 10, we recommend diffusion with other calming oils.

Shelf Life:

5 Years
