Aromatherapy - Ylang Ylang

 
Latin Name: Cananga odorata

 
Description

Produced from the flowers of the Annonaceae family, ylang ylang is called the "Flower of Flowers" and is native to tropical Asia. It is reminiscent of Jasmine in aroma and is a deeply relaxing oil with an exotically floral, rich, sweet, sensual aroma.

The oil is commercially grown in Madagascar, the Philippines, and Reunion islands. Good quality ylang ylang will have a smooth aroma that is not overly strong and lacks the thick, dominant, sweetness of some distillations.
