Ylang Ylang I Essential Oil - 10ml

Steam distilled from the blossoms of Cananga odorata in the Comoros Islands, this Grade I essential oil is the first and finest fraction of the distillation process - capturing the most complex expression of the flower that gives Southeast Asia its name for it: the flower of flowers.

For centuries, ylang ylang has been woven into rituals of pleasure and ceremony. Its blooms were strewn across marriage beds in Indonesia; Muslim women burned it to scent the women's quarters of great palaces; in China, its fragrance perfumed the ceremonial robes of the mandarin. Aromatherapy has long reached for it as one of the most dependable oils for easing a restless mind - traditionally used in massage blends, diffused in small quantities to encourage a sense of peace and ease, and valued wherever the focus is rest, unwinding, or the slow ritual of self-care.

In ritual work, its deep connection to love, pleasure, and the feminine draws it naturally toward love magic, self-love workings, and rites concerned with embodied joy. Use it with intention: the scent is potent and a little goes a long way - high concentrations are best avoided.
