Ylang Ylang Pure Essential Oil

About Ylang Ylang Essential Oil

Derived from the flowers of Cananga odorata, this oil is known for its rich, floral aroma and complex composition. With a naturally high ester and linalool content, it is widely used in aromatherapy and personal care for balancing and sensory-focused routines.

Botanical name

Cananga odorata

Origin

Our Ylang Ylang Essential Oil is sourced from Madagascar, where the warm climate and growing conditions produce a deeply aromatic oil with a smooth, well-rounded floral profile.

Aroma

Deep, floral and slightly sweet with a soft, lingering finish. Rich and full-bodied, with a distinctive exotic character.

How it’s made

Steam distilled from freshly harvested flowers to preserve its complex aromatic profile and high ester content.

Blends well with

Oils that are bright, citrus or grounding, helping lift or anchor its rich floral depth.

• Bergamot – to add a fresh, uplifting edge
• Lemon – to brighten and balance
• Sandalwood – to deepen and soften
• Lavender – to round out the floral profile

Ylang Ylang is not a light floral—it’s one that changes the mood of a space. Used well, it creates a sense of stillness that’s felt as much as it is noticed.

Why quality matters

Ylang Ylang varies significantly depending on origin and distillation. Madagascan Ylang Ylang is valued for its fuller, more balanced aroma—smooth rather than sharp—making it easier to work with in both diffusion and personal care routines.
