This exotic oil is produced by steam distillation of the flowers of a tall tropical tree. It comes from the Comoros Islands off the coast of East Africa, and has been a part of folk medicine and rituals in tropical Asia for thousands of years. Commonly used in perfumery, this intensely sweet smelling oil has relaxing, sensual and aphrodisiac properties. Only needed in small amounts, ylang ylang is a middle to base note oil and blends well with sweet orange, cedarwood and pink grapefruit.
