Botanical Name: Cananga odorata
Plant Part: Flower
Country of Origin: Comoros Isl.
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.

So, I'm not a huge flower scent lady; I love mainly earthy scents and although I've never been a huge ylang ylang fan, I decided to purchase it, because I know a lot of my customers would like this in their blends. And as a matter of fact, I like it much more now too, as it's a great floral base note. On it's own it's too intense for me, but a few drops of this ylang ylang with some earthier EO's and peppermint, can make a really lovely scent. On the scale of how this ylang ylang compares to more expensive brands: I'd say it's an equal match!

I say load your pockets down with Ylang Ylang Extra! I love this stuff! I have used it in several blends for calming and soothing ones nerves and anxiety. All of my clients have enjoyed it very much. It is a very soft and delicate floral and just oh so lovely and sweet! This is a great medicinal and a very romantic oil for perfumery as well! Sooooo if you need a little something that you can wear as a perfume and need a little relaxation to go with it, this is your oil! Very good quality as always from CG!

I am not a fan of Jasmine EO so I wasn't sure if I would like this, but it is a gorgeous scent. I got it to add some sweetness to a perfume oil I am developing that has a base of patchouli and sandalwood and smells a little too masculine for what I was going for. It was the perfect addition. I have ordered from several companies since starting my soap business but Camden Grey far exceeds their competition in terms of service, quality, and price. Thank you once again CG for offereing such great products at fair prices. You will continue to be my first choice for all my business needs-you guys rock!

The most wonderful Ylang! I spilled a tiny bit when I first opened the bottle and was a bit disappointed at first; however, I have to say that my house smelled amazing from just those few drops being spilled. I actually just sat down and took in the "moment". I just realized I only have a few drops left and won't even consider another company for Ylang. This One Smells Heavenly!!

This oil is just as unique as it's name. The scent is simply beautiful. I love it in my solid perfumes and hair spritzers. The best ylang-ylang that I've come across to date! Thank you Camden-Grey.

This is a heavenly ylang ylang eo. It is hard to describe: light as well as being full of body and just such a pretty, heady, beautiful, feminine experience...it is easy to see how this eo can be a euphoric. This puts me over the moon! and makes me happy.

I can hardly say more. Not expecting to love this so much, I first ordered a relatively small quantity. Now I'm back for more. I find it's especially intoxicating blended with rosewood, lavender and a bit of patchouli--a great floral musk.

I will never, ever buy Ylang Ylang II or III ever again after smelling 'the good stuff' - second and third distillations can not hold a candle to the quality of this first distillation oil. Truly, they smell like two totally different plants altogether. If you want to experience what a true Ylang Ylang flower really smells like, you need to buy this oil.

I bought ylang ylang a few years ago from a health food store. It was an okay scent, but it had a burnt wood smell to it.
This one is awesome! There's nothing but a wonderful floral scent. It's just such a wonderful smell, and I think it would be good for just about anything. It is one of my favorites.
