Product Description
Relax in luxury with the exotic, alluring aroma of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil. Although sometimes called “poor man’s jasmine,” we’d say Ylang Ylang is worth its weight in gold. Steam distilled from the yellow flowers of the Cananga tree, Ylang Ylang essential oil has a floral scent that’s sweet, intoxicating, and ever-so-slightly spicy.
Ylang Ylang is a popular choice for aromatherapy due to its calming and uplifting effect. Diffusing or inhaling this essential oil helps you feel more centered, allowing you to release anxious thoughts and enjoy the present moment. It also inspires clear, focused energy and feelings of passion. For couples, a Ylang Ylang massage oil adds a dash of romance and sensuality.
High in anti-inflammatory compounds, Ylang Ylang essential oil benefits the body as well as the mind and spirit. Try this essential oil to promote better skin, hair, and nails, while reducing pain and discomfort caused by inflammation. It eliminates bacteria and microbes, which strengthens the immune system.
Ylang Ylang perfume and cologne blends are much sought-after because this floral oil inspires powerful attraction and a clean, refreshing scent. If you enjoy making your own soaps, bath bombs, candles, homemade cleaning products and hand sanitizer, or other DIY gifts, make sure you add Ylang Ylang to your essential oil repertoire!
