About the Plant:

The velvety yellow flowers produce a heady and sensual oil very similar to Jasmine. Like Jasmine and Rose, the blossoms are harvested and processed in the early morning. The spirit of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil is best described as radiant, passionate, and quintessentially feminine, so it is no wonder Ylang Ylang Essential Oil is revered around the world as an aphrodisiac, stirring the blood and engaging the heart and mind toward romance.*

Where It Grows:

The Ylang Ylang tree, which originated in the Philippines, belongs to the custard apple family. Today, it is also cultivated in Java, Sumatra, Comoro Islands, Zanzibar, Haiti, and Madagascar. In the Malayan language, Ylang Ylang means “flower of flowers.”*

This precious nectar is commonly distilled in "fractions,” meaning at various stages the oil is taken off and then the distillation continues, producing other grades of oil. After the oil classified as Ylang Ylang Extra is collected, the distillation process continues, creating Ylang Ylang 1, Ylang Ylang 2, and Ylang Ylang 3. The distillation details vary among distillers.

Traditional Uses and Lore:

In Indonesia, it is traditional for newlywed couples to find these blossoms spread on their marriage bed.* In its country of origin, the Ylang Ylang blossoms were immersed in coconut oil until it had absorbed all the fragrance. The oil was then used to prevent fever and infectious diseases.*

In Victorian times, Ylang Ylang Essential Oil was used as a hair treatment.* For those looking for the appearance of more lustrous hair, Ylang Ylang was diluted in carrier oils to stimulate and arouse the scalp with gentle massage.* In fact, it was popular in men’s hair tonics in the late 1800’s.*

Ylang Ylang Extra Essential Oil has a slightly sweet and flowery aroma which makes it the perfect choice for perfumes. Pronounced Eee-lang Eee-lang, this euphoric oil is distilled from the flowers of a tree native to southeast Asia. This essential oil helps boost positive moods while soothing skin and muscle tissues.*

There are actually five different classifications or types of Ylang Ylang essential oil based on the time at which the oil is taken off (fractionated off) during the whole distillation process. When the steam distillation process begins, the oil that is collected within the first hour or two is called Ylang Ylang Extra which is often considered the best fraction for use in perfumery. The aroma is sweeter, fruitier, and has a very floral scent compared to other Ylang Ylang fractions. However, this fraction is the most volatile and can be overpowering in aroma to some.
