About the Oil

Ylang Ylang is steam-distilled from the intensely fragrant yellow flowers of Cananga odorata. Its aroma is rich, sweet, and deeply floral with a warm, exotic undertone.

Long associated with sensuality and emotional softness, ylang ylang is commonly chosen in aromatherapy to support relaxation and emotional balance. Its presence can help create an atmosphere of calm intimacy and gentle unwinding. It is also frequently included in hair and scalp care blends designed to support balance and shine.

Its scent is lush and enveloping — floral, warm, and quietly indulgent.

Suggested Ritual Use

– Diffuse in the evening to create a soothing, intimate atmosphere.
– Blend with a carrier oil for relaxing massage rituals.
– Add a few drops to bathwater for a calming soak.
– Combine with bergamot for emotional balance or cedarwood for grounding depth.
