Ylang Ylang oil, derived from the gnarly, spider-like blossoms of the Cananga odorata tree, is an impressive essential oil celebrated for its delightful fragrance and cosmetic properties. We love its rich, sultry, floral aroma that has been cherished for centuries, not only in perfumery but also in traditional medicine and modern aromatherapy. 

Ylang Ylang oil is renowned for its calming effects. Its soothing scent helps reduce anxious thoughts, encourage relaxation and promote a sense of tranquility. Vaporising this oil or adding a few drops to a warm bath can provide relief from everyday stress and tension.

It is sometimes called the "flower of flowers" and provides a natural boost to your mood. Its uplifting action combats feelings of sadness and fatigue, making it an excellent choice for aromatherapy sessions or meditation practices - especially when combined with other oils such as Lavender and Cedarwood.

In cosmetics it offers rich hydrating properties. Ylang Ylang can help balance sebum production, making it a perfect choice for both dry and oily skin. We love to include it in creams, lotions and serums. It is also known to enhance the strength and shine of hair when added to shampoos or conditioners.

Another wonderful characteristic of Ylang Ylang is its romantic properties. The exotic oil is often used to create an intimate ambiance. Its alluring fragrance stimulates sensuality and connection. We always include it in amorous bedroom blends.
