Product Overview

Our organic Ylang Ylang Complete from Comoros has an aroma that is powerful, extremely sweet, spicy, bold tropical, and fruity/floral with a green, woody undertone; it is an ideal floral component to incorporate into skincare, aromatherapy, and natural perfumery products, and in the case of this powerfully scented oil, a little will go a long way.

Its heady, floral intensity is why Ylang Ylang is unfairly referred to as “poor man’s Jasmine” – at a comparatively modest price it is one of the finest aromatic materials in the perfume industry. A deeply rich fragrance in itself, Ylang Ylang is a star ingredient in the natural perfumer’s palette, immortalized in many timeless fragrances, including Chanel No. 5 and Guerlain’s Samsara. The lively aroma elevates other florals it is blended with while imparting volume, texture, and a bit of mystery.

The name Ylang Ylang appears to come from the Filipino language, from the vernacular ‘Alang-ilang’ by which name this tropical, evergreen tree is known in most of the provinces of the Philippines, its native origin.[2] The trees are now cultivated almost exclusively in a tiny corner of the Indian Ocean – The Comoros Archipelago and Madagascar – where the steam-distilled oil from the large, drooping, highly aromatic flowers is a major export.  

The ‘Extra’ fraction of Ylang Ylang essential oil, believed to have the finest odor for perfumery, is the first of four fractional distillates that are separated by distillation time and/or density (specific gravity). The subsequent ‘First’ and ‘Second’ medium density fractions contain increasing amounts of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and are used in cosmetics and body care products. The ‘Third’ and lightest-density fraction is typically used to fragrance soaps, candles and incense. Ylang Ylang ‘Complete’ is technically the result of a continuous distillation of 18 hours or more, rendering a full spectrum, non-fractionated (complete) oil. Ylang Ylang Complete is the preferred oil for aromatherapy applications, however perfumers and high-end soap makers may also appreciate its complexity.

To richly experience Ylang Ylang with its voluptuous and sultry aroma, Tisserand suggests combining it with Clary Sage for a deeply relaxing bath. [3] Such is the euphoric power of Ylang Ylang’s sensual and comforting aroma, ideal in body and linen sprays, cosmetics, and hair, scalp, and skincare preparations, particularly for oily, congested or mature skin. The sweetly scented bouquet is a calming favorite, perfectly suited for adding into a diffuser or massage and bath oils before bed.

Aromatic and chemical diversity is the signature of the ‘complete’ distillation of Cananga odorata. It is precisely the marriage of floral, fruity, woody, spicy and balsamic terpenes, esters, ethers, phenols and sesquiterpenes, all in significant proportions, that form the basic ‘accord’ of Ylang Ylang. In aromatherapy, there is no better expression of this exotic flower than in the wide spectrum of skincare and aromatic possibilities offered by Ylang Ylang Complete.

DILUTION NOTE: When this material is diluted in perfumer’s alcohol, there may be cloudiness (please see Appearance section below). Guenther explains: “The solubility of Ylang Ylang oil, in general, is poor. This statement applies to all qualities (fractions). Usually from 0.5 to 3 [percent by] volume of 95 percent alcohol [is] required to give a clear solution, which often becomes cloudy on addition of more alcohol.”[4] If cloudiness occurs, this precipitates upon standing and can be filtered out, leaving a perfectly clear (non-cloudy) dilution.

so much love for this scent very calming for me

Review by Vernessa 12/1/2022

Exquisite

Rating

A comparison of Ylang Ylang Complete, Extra, and Fine perfectly depicts the difference in aroma notes. All three share the same basic floral fragrance, but Fine emanates with a taught, rapid vibration compared to the more diverse Complete distillation, and Extra falls between the two. I personally prefer Ylang Ylang Complete, but each one offers a sweet, delicate bouquet.
