## About
They call it the flower of flowers. Ylang-ylang Extra is the most exotic of the fractions, sweet and exotically floral, with an aroma reminiscent of jasmine that adds a radiant sweetness to any perfume blend.It is Cananga odorata, organically produced and steam-distilled from the flowers in the Comoros, and it is the first of several fractional distillations, the oil collected at the very start of the run. Tony Burfield, in Natural Aromatic Materials, describes its heady, sweet, radiant floral odor with spicy notes of clove in the background and a rounded, full-bodied dry-down with slightly spicy notes. Of our ylang-ylang oils, the Extra is definitely the perfumer's choice: soft, warm and comforting, and relaxing to body and mind.DetailsBotanical name: Cananga odorataOrigin: ComorosMethod: steam distillation of the flowers, first fractionOrganically producedShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingBlends with bergamot, black pepper, cedarwood, ginger, jasmine, lavender, neroli, rose, sandalwood, vetiver and the citrus oilsHow to useUse it by the drop in perfumes and well-diluted massage blends.
