Botanical Name: Cananga odorata
Plant Part: Flower
Country of Origin: Madagascar
Method of Extraction: Steam Distillation
The aroma of Ylang Ylang is sweet, floral and heavy. There are several grades of this essential oil. The large flowers of Ylang Ylang are subjected to fractional steam distillation, yielding, in succession, ylang-ylang extra, I, II, and III. The grades (Extra, I, II and III) indicate from which fraction of the steam distillation process the oil was obtained. Ylang Ylang III is an excellent oil for aromatherapy and soapmaking.
Ylang Ylang relaxes and arouses; in Europe, therapists use this oil for sexual dysfunction. Eases frigidity and impotence. It is said to be antidepressant, antiseptic, aphrodisiac and sedative. Excessive use may lead to headaches and nausea. Could possibly irritate sensitive skins and is indicated against use on inflammatory skin conditions and dermatitis. Could well ease feelings of anger, anxiety, shock, panic and fear. Useful with rapid breathing and heartbeat; its sedative properties could help bring down high blood pressure. Soothes anger. Has a tonic and stimulating effect on the scalp promoting a more luxurious hair growth.
Blends well with bergamot, citronella, jasmine, lavender, lemon, rose, sandalwood and verbena. Flash point: 167F.

It is very hard to describe what this smell it like. It is deep; it is a base note. You know this is not fragile and will not fade like a top note. I would not exactly call it a floral, in that it does not smell like rose or gardenia or anything light and subtle. Ylang is often described as sensuous or sexy. Maybe it is. It can be mixed with Lavender or Rosemary, and surely many others.

Smells great and is super super strong. You only need a little to go a long way. Sweet, almost cloying aroma with heavy floral notes.

Surprisingly enough, I am not a huge fan of Ylang Ylang in general. However, my customers love it and Camden Grey's Ylang Ylang #3 is better than others I have used. It tends to be an expensive oil and so I find the price here to be very fair and the oil to be lovely. Thanks Camden Grey!

I received my purchase yesterday and had to make a lavender/ylang ylang lotion immediately! I love the scent of this Ylang ylang. It reminds me of honeysuckle flowers and is perfect because I wanted to add some more floral essential oils to my stock.

I like the smell of this a lot especially when diluted a little in a carrier oil! I am very curious to how this smells compared to Ylang Ylang and Ylang Ylang II.

At first I wasnt sure about its scent, it's very floral. Now, it's one of my staples which I use in my home made flax seed gel. It is very soothing and great for the scalp.

I love this oil. When you first receive it make sure you smell it a few times. The first sniff may be a little strange to you but set it down and resmell it you love it. I mix this oil with bergamot and sweet orange. Wow what a great scent.

Sweet and soft oil. I love it! Did wonders for my hair. Helps give your new growth a beautiful start. Used it in my scrubs, and body butters. Looking forward to experimenting more with this oil. But I'm also going to try the Extra one next. Lovely oil though!

I used this EO in HP soap and it performed wonderfully! The bar is a beautiful white (oo/co/castor/shea) and this scent comes out nice and light with a hint of sweet florals growing in the woods. It isn't like flowers in a garden...Its a bit "deeper" but subtle. I used 1 pound per 2 pounds of oil (I like a light scent). The standard 1 lb/ppo shouldn't be overkill. This is a favorite soap of mine, as well as friends and family. I highly recommend it!

I wear this as a simple perfume! Got it to keep my bp normal in pregnancy and I believe it's really done the job, but in the process fell in love with the scent!
Thanks for browsing thru this section which contains answers to many questions that are often asked of us. Here we explain where to locate CofA and SDS for a product, how we dispense and package our products, how products should be stored, basic terminology and the wait time for bulk products to ship from our warehouse. FYI: We're closed on Fridays.
Certificate of Analysis (CofA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS). We publish on our website those documents for most of our products, some products don't provide either because the product doesn't require it. In this same section where you're at now, look to the tab to the left titled Documents, click on it and that's where you'll find either document for the product you seek. If you do not find the document you require, please email us at customerservice@camdengrey.com so we can research further.
BULK ITEMS: When a customer adds a bulk item to the cart, the customer’s immediately shown on the screen how many number of days should be allowed for the bulk product to arrive at our warehouse. If the bulk item happens to be in stock, we’ll ship sooner than the customer would expect. As we emerge from Covid, logistics operations are not yet back to normal, what used to arrive at our warehouse in 3 days now takes much longer. Should a vendor inform us the ordered product will take longer than what’s mentioned on our website we’ll email the customer with the latest information.
TERMINOLOGY:
EO = essential oil
FO = fragrance oil
HOW PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED...
BOTTLING/PACKAGING:
Essential oils: in 1/32 oz. to 1/4 oz...amber glass vials with orifice reducers. ½ oz. to 2 oz...in amber glass bottles with white caps and Eurodroppers...3 to 4 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps and without orifice reducers...7 oz. in aluminum bottles...15 oz. in amber glass bottles with black caps...10 & 25 lbs. in HDPE plastic containers with wide mouths although, occasionally, 25 lbs. may be dispensed in factory-issued metal containers with pouring spouts.
28 lbs. of carrier oils and other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic gallon containers with handles, each holds the purchased net weight of liquid.
30+ lbs. of carrier oils, other liquids, soft butters, Castile gel and other products are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles & pouring spouts in the lid; those products may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. After Covid, we reserve the right to use any packaging/dispensing container available to us and not mentioned above because it continues to be difficult many times to restock the same packaging container or material used in the past.
NOTE: An EO may safely remain inside an aluminum container for up to 3 months, but if storing longer than 3 months the oil should be transferred to amber glass. Fragrances and carrier oils up to 8 lbs. may remain inside HDPE plastic bottles indefinitely. If the customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring a product to glass this should be done. ALL PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED BY WEIGHT, THUS, SOME CONTAINERS MAY BE FILLED HIGHER THAN OTHERS DEPENDING ON THE WEIGHT AND VISCOSITY OF EACH PRODUCT.
Raw materials/ingredients are dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames. Keep all liquids and powders you purchase from Camden-Grey tightly capped and away from the reach of children, the elderly or infirm and pets. Refrigerating butters could adversely affect the consistency of the butter, please join our Forum if you need to learn how to handle, work with and store products.
