10 ml bottle
(pure essential oil, vintage)
Botanical name: Cananga odorata
Production: Organic flowers, artisan distillation; complete
Temple Tree’s Ylang Ylang essential oil is crafted and distilled in small batches, making it a rare treasure in the perfumer’s palate. Artisanal craftsmanship brings forth the nuanced fragrance of aromatically-rich flowers with a soft finish.
Cananga odorata is studied as an analgesic, antidepressant, anti-inflammatory and sedative. We suggest trying it in the diffuser or adding to sea salts for a relaxing bath when muscles are sore and the mind is tired for a gentle pick-me-up.
Our Ylang Ylang is "complete", meaning it contains the full spectrum of aromatic constituents. Ylang Ylang has different "grades": "extra" is the oil that is extracted within the first hour of distillation; "3" is the oil that is extracted after this oil is removed and generally considered undesirable for aromatherapy, but used in candles and poor quality oils and products. Complete is generally most desired in aromatherapy. Remember, quality has everything to do with not only the plant but also the extraction method and skill of the distiller.
Ylang Ylang has been used for centuries as an aphrodisiac and to calm the heart. It both relaxes and uplifts, thereby bringing forward blocked feelings of love and sensuality. Enjoy the sweetness and spice of this exotic flower!
Blends well with Frankincense, Geranium, Patchouli, Mandarin and Sandalwood.
