Ylang Ylang Essential Oil (#1)


Average Product Rating: 4.5 / 5 (Based on 11 Customer Reviews)


Main Constituents:
Linalool: 18.5%
Geranyl acetate: 14.1%

Botanical Name: Cananga Odorata

Plant Part: Flowers

Extraction Method: Steam Distilled

Origin: Madagascar

Description: Ylang-ylang Essential Oil is extracted from Cananga odorata – also known as flower of flowers. It is a tall tropical tree about 20meters (60 feet) high with large, tender, fragrant pink, mauve or yellow flowers. The yellow heads are viewed as being the best in terms of quality. There are several grades of Ylang-ylang essential oil which are extracted at different times during the flower's lengthy distillation. These grades are referred to as extra, I, II, & III.

Color: Pale to golden yellow clear liquid.

Common Uses: Ylang-ylang Essential Oil can assist with problems such as high blood pressure, rapid breathing and heartbeat, nervous conditions, as well as impotence and frigidity. Spiritual practitioners claim that the users of Ylang-ylang are those who have been drawn to the oil, and who in turn, suit it. Ylang-ylang Essential Oil is best suited for use in the perfumery and skincare industries.

Consistency: Thin

Note: Base

Strength of Aroma: Medium

Blends well with: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lavender, Neroli, Rosewood and Sandalwood.

Aromatic Scent: Ylang-ylang Essential Oil has a sweet, exotic, floral scent that is one of the most sought after aromas.

History: In Indonesia, Ylang-ylang flower petals are strewn upon the bed of newlywed couples. It was a popular ingredient of hair preparations in Europe and was known as Macassar oil. The word anti-macassar originated from this, since an anti-maccasar was used to keep hair oil from staining upholstered furniture.

Cautions: Ylang-ylang Essential Oil can cause sensitivity on some people and excessive use of it may lead to headaches and nausea.

This is the worst Ylang Yalng essential oil that I used so far. Very strong floral smell. It will give you a headache if you smell it directly from the bottle. Don't use it for aromatherapy and massage purpose. It will give people headache. I tried it for my work and all of my coworkers complained about the scent. I am very skeptical about the review on the esssential oils here. But oils are very good here!!!

New Directions Aromatics Response:

Jay, our Ylang Ylang is 100% natural and undiluted that is why you get a very strong scent. If you tried Ylang Ylang from other suppliers it may have been diluted and a lot weaker in smell. If you find ours too strong please dilute it in a carrier oil.

Next to Ylang Ylang Complete, this is my favorite Ylang Ylang as it is exquistely almost painfully exotic and strong floral scent will only require a small amount for a truly remarkable floral addition to any blend. A MUST HAVE for any aromatherapist. Use with caution as over-use can cause headaches! Wonderful quality.
