Ylang Ylang ... Cananga odorata, is a tropical tree that is native to the Queensland, Australia among other countries. It is valued for the Essential Oils extracted from its flowers (also called "Ylang-ylang"), which has a strong floral fragrance. Ylang-ylang is one of the most extensively used natural materials in the perfume industry, earning it the name "Queen of Perfumes". Used in Aromatherapy, it is believed to relieve high blood pressure and normalize sebum secretion for skin problems, and is considered to be an aphrodisiac. The oil from Ylang-ylang is widely used in perfumery for ‘Oriental’ or ‘Floral’ themed perfumes (such as Chanel No. 5). Ylang-ylang blends well with most floral, fruit, and wood scents. In Indonesia, Ylang-ylang flowers are spread on the bed of newlywed couples. Ylang ylang has traditionally been used for its calming and balancing properties. It has been known to help relieve extreme mood swings associated with PMS. Note: Middle. Strong, sweet, exotic, floral aroma.
