YLANG-YLANG
Ylang-ylang is a rich, intense, and deeply floral fragrance note with a sweet, exotic, and slightly fruity character. It has a lush, opulent scent profile that is simultaneously soft and powerful, with pronounced tropical and creamy nuances. The aroma is reminiscent of jasmine and banana, combining sensuality with a green, slightly spicy undertone.
Origin & Extraction
Ylang-ylang is extracted from the flowers of the Cananga odorata tree, native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines, Indonesia, and parts of Malaysia. The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the fresh yellow flowers, with different grades of oil (extra, first, second, third) produced depending on the timing of extraction during the distillation process.
