Ylang Ylang 1st Grade

Cananga odorata

A highly fragrant flower which produces an exquisite essential oil.  Ylang-Ylang oil was originally produced for the perfume industry. 

The tree is grown in the Comores Islands, Java and Madagascar, and traditionally the flowers were used by the islanders to adorn the beds of newly weds. The flowers were infused to produce an oil that was placed on the skin and hair to help protect it from the elements.

There are six recognised fractions Ylang-ylang Super Extra, Extra, First, Second, Third, and Complete.
1st is derived from the first main stage of distillation.

An intensely sweet, floral fragrance that some describe as banana-like is distilled from these tropical flowers. 

A strong sedative, ylang-ylang reduces muscle spasms and lowers blood pressure. 

As a hair tonic, it balances oil production. 

The fragrance makes the senses more acute and tempers depression, fear, jealousy, anger, and frustration.  It is also an aphrodisiac, although high concentrations may produce headaches.
