Description
Ylang Ylang essential oil is an exotic, intensely floral oil celebrated for its calming aroma, sensual character and sense of emotional harmony. Steam distilled from the freshly harvested flowers of Cananga odorata (typically in multiple distillation “grades”), this 100% pure organic version ensures both quality and potency. With its rich, sweet, almost heady aroma, Ylang Ylang is revered in both perfumery and aromatherapy for a scent that softens the mood, calms the atmosphere and awakens joy.
Why People Love It
- Calming aroma: a rich floral scent that sets a soft, unhurried mood
- Emotional balance and self-love: a warm, open aroma for connection and self-care rituals
- Sensual, romantic atmosphere: a classic floral for intimate evenings
- Hair and skin care rituals: a lush floral scent in natural hair oils and facial serums
- Grounding yet uplifting: a deep, sweet floral that works morning or night
Aroma Chemistry
Ylang Ylang’s distinctive aroma comes from a diverse range of aromatic esters and alcohols:
- Germacrene D: adds a soft, woody-spicy undertone
- Linalool: a gentle floral note that softens the bouquet
- Benzyl acetate: contributes to the deeply floral, exotic aroma
- Farnesene: adds a subtle green, slightly fruity nuance
- Methyl benzoate: adds intensity and depth to the scent
These constituents create Ylang Ylang’s rich, creamy floral aroma, ideal for self-care rituals and a slower pace. A Nebulizing Diffuser® diffuses the whole oil with no water or heat, so you smell every note.
Energetic, Spiritual & Symbolic Properties
- Chakras: Heart and Sacral, for sensuality, emotional flow and self-worth
- Color Correspondence: Pink and Deep Gold, for love, beauty and self-expression
