What is Ylang Ylang Complete?

The essential oil Ylang Ylang is distilled in “fractions”, which means that the oil is taken off at different stages based on time. The difference in the grades Extra, 1, 2, 3, and Complete are based on the amount of time spent in the distillation process. The different grades do not indicate the quality of the oil—rather, the difference in aroma and constituents. The first fraction extracted is called “extra”, and it requires about two hours of distillation. The aroma is sweeter, more fruity, and contains more esters. The full distillation takes about 15 hours and creates Ylang Ylang Complete, which has a rich, herbaceous aroma and more sesquiterpenes.
