Ylang-Ylang Essential Oil is a therapeutic-grade oil steam-distilled from the freshly picked flowers of Cananga odorata (ylang-ylang tree), presenting as almost colourless to pale yellow. One of the most intensely fragrant and exotic floral essential oils in the world, Ylang-Ylang delivers a rich, sweet, heady, narcotic, exotic tropical floral character — with banana-like, custard-like, and intensely floral notes from its complex composition of benzyl acetate, linalool, and geranyl acetate. It is one of the defining floral heart notes in classic feminine perfumery, most notably in Chanel No. 5.
In aromatherapy, Ylang-Ylang is clinically studied for its ability to lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety, and act as a natural aphrodisiac — making it the most emotionally and physiologically impactful floral essential oil in therapeutic practice.
