Product Information / Why Choose This Product

The ylang ylang tree is native to tropical regions including the Philippines, Seychelles, Mauritius and Tahiti, producing striking pink, mauve and yellow flowers known for their intensely fragrant aroma.

Ylang ylang essential oil has a fascinating history of use in beauty and personal care traditions. It was a key ingredient in the famous Makassar Oil hair treatment, which became so popular that decorative antimacassars were placed on furniture to protect fabrics from oil stains. According to traditional South Sea Island customs, women blended ylang ylang with coconut oil to perfume and nourish their hair, while the flower petals were traditionally scattered on the beds of newly married couples.

Today, ylang ylang remains one of the most widely used oils in perfumery. Its aroma is often compared to jasmine, earning it the nickname "the poor man's jasmine" due to its similar floral character and broader affordability.

Ylang ylang blends particularly well with sandalwood, grapefruit, bergamot, citronella, lemon, orange and lavender essential oils, making it a versatile addition to any essential oil collection.
