Divine Essence Organic Ylang Ylang Essential Oil, 15 mL

Ylang ylang is a tree native to Southeast Asia, grown for its yellow flowers. Distilling the fresh blooms is slow work, up to 20 hours, and the result is an essential oil with a sweet, fine, enveloping scent that perfumers have relied on for a long time. Divine Essence bottles an organic ylang ylang oil for home aromatherapy.

Most people diffuse a few drops, or blend it into a carrier oil for the skin. It is a rich floral, so a little goes a long way, and it pairs well with citrus or woody oils. Nothing in the bottle but the oil itself.

Native to Southeastern Asia, Ylang Ylang is a tree grown for its yellow flowers. The essential oil extracted from it is commonly used in perfumery. Distilling the fresh flowers of Ylang-ylang enables extracting an essential oil in multiple fractions. The process can take up to 20 hours. The products of successive distillations results in an essence of varying densities: Extra-S, Extra, I, II and III. The Extra Superior, Extra and I fractions are used in high-end perfumes. The II and III fractions are used in cosmetics, soaps and for detergents. Ylang Ylang has a sweet, fine and enveloping scent. Ylang Ylang III essential oil is used in aromatherapy to reduce nervousness and agitation as well as to help relieve Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS).
