About this product
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.

How to use
Use it by the drop in perfumes and well-diluted massage blends. Ylang-ylang carries a moderate risk of skin sensitization, so keep it off hypersensitive, damaged or diseased skin and away from children under two. Never take it internally. Store it in the dark and refrigerated, decanting a half-empty bottle into a smaller one.
The first, brightest breath of the flower, for the perfumer's shelf.
