Ylang ylang

Cananga Odorata

Floral/Fresh/Delicate

Native to the Indonesian archipelago of the Moluccas, ylang ylang eventually found its promised land in Madagascar. When you breathe in its sweet fragrance, the little flower fully justifies its nickname of “flower of flowers”, bestowed on it by the women of the Philippines who adorn their hair with it. Long distillation produces different extracts with different characteristics. It is during the first few hours that the flowers deliver their most precious elixir, creamy and sun-kissed.
