Ylang ylang III essential oil, certified organic
Description: Ylang ylang oil is extracted from Cananga odorata – also known as 'flower of flowers'. Ylang ylang is a tall tropical tree about 20 metres high with large, tender, fragrant pink, mauve or yellow flowers. The yellow heads are viewed as being the best in terms of quality.
History: In Indonesia, ylang ylang flower petals are strewn upon the bed of newlywed couples. Ylang ylang was a popular ingredient of hair preparations in Europe and was known as Macassar oil. The word 'anti-macassar' originated from this, since an anti-macassar was used to keep hair oil from staining upholstered furniture.
