Ylang-ylang essential oil has an exotic, sweetly seductive aroma that is hard to forget and even harder to resist. Its luxurious floral scent evokes the feeling of sun-drenched tropical islands, where the air is heavy with the fragrance of blooming flowers and the pace of life slows to a gentle rhythm.

Long celebrated for its ability to promote emotional balance, ylang-ylang is a scent of sensuality, tranquillity and quiet confidence. It soothes the mind, softens the mood, and gently invites you to reconnect with the present moment. With its rich, layered tones, ylang-ylang oil is more than just a fragrance — it’s an experience. Let it wrap you in a warm, floral embrace, reminding you to pause, breathe deeply, and fully enjoy the beauty of life.

Description

With its lush, floral fragrance, ylang-ylang essential oil has captivated the senses since the 19th century and remains a treasured staple in both perfumery and natural wellness today. Sourced from Southeast Asia — particularly the Philippines, Indonesia, Madagascar, and the Comoro Islands — this essential oil holds rich cultural significance alongside its aromatic beauty. In Indonesia, Cananga flowers are traditionally scattered on the beds of newlyweds, symbolizing romance and sensual connection. In the Philippines, they are woven into garlands and used to adorn religious icons, marking reverent and celebratory moments.  

The scent itself is a luxurious symphony: sweet jasmine, delicate neroli, and exotic fruit notes blend seamlessly with a creamy softness. Its complex yet balanced fragrance made ylang-ylang a cornerstone of classic perfumery — most notably as a key component in CHANEL No. 5, where it adds warmth, elegance, and a sensual floral heart. 

The essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of freshly harvested Cananga flowers. The distillation process is carefully controlled, and the oil is categorized into different grades — Extra, I, II, III, and Complete. 

Ylang-ylang oil is also widely used in body and hair care, enriching products with its naturally seductive scent. Whether worn as a natural perfume, added to skincare rituals, or diffused for its calming presence, ylang-ylang invites you into a space of warmth, self-connection, and quiet joy. 
How to use?

Diffusing: 
Ylang-ylang oil is most used for diffusion in an electric essential oil diffuser. Since the aroma is very sweet, it is rarely used alone. It is often blended with bergamot, grapefruit, orange, lavender, neroli, and rose essential oils.  

A particularly pleasant blend is orange (4 drops) + lavender (2 drops) and ylang-ylang (2 drops). For a romantic evening, try this blend: jasmine essential oil (1 drop) + ylang-ylang (2 drops) + pink grapefruit (6 drops). 

Body Care: 
For massages, always dilute ylang-ylang oil with a carrier oil (e.g., sweet almond or camellia oil). Add 10 drops of essential oils to 50 ml of carrier oil (mix ylang-ylang with orange or grapefruit essential oils). 

Indulge yourself with a divine, relaxing bath! Add 3 drops of ylang-ylang and 5 drops of lavender (or grapefruit) essential oil to a teaspoon of carrier oil, then pour the mixture into your bathwater and soak for 10–15 minutes. 

For breast care, you can create this oil blend: 50 ml camellia oil + 5 drops ylang-ylang essential oil + 7 drops pink grapefruit essential oil. Massage the mixture into the breasts twice a day, after bathing in the tub or shower (oils absorb better into damp skin). 

Ylang-ylang essential oil is highly valued in cosmetology as a firming, skin rejuvenating treatment. It is believed that this fragrant oil regulates sebum production and helps maintain skin moisture balance. You can add a few drops of ylang-ylang oil to your facial or body cleanser, fragrance-free body lotion, or cream. The product will not only smell divine but also improve your skin! 

Hair Care: 
Ylang-ylang essential oil soothes and balances the scalp, helps restore hair moisture balance, and most importantly, gives hair an unparalleled shine! The quickest way to experience ylang-ylang’s effects is to add a few drops of pure essential oil to your shampoo, conditioner, or hair mask. Only add to a small (single-use) amount to avoid altering the consistency of your products. 

You can create a nourishing hair mask that makes combing easier and adds shine. Add 6 drops of ylang-ylang and 6 drops of pink grapefruit essential oil to 50 ml camellia oil. Apply the oil mixture to dry hair from roots to ends and leave for at least 20–30 minutes. Wash with shampoo and conditioner as usual. After this beauty routine, your hair will be not only soft, easy to comb, and incredibly shiny but will also smell like a mysterious garden! You will drive your loved one wild, guaranteed! 

Idea: 
If you want to create wonderfully aromatic, passion-igniting, and confidence-boosting perfume, add a few drops of ylang-ylang essential oil to 5 ml of camellia oil, 2–3 drops of rose or jasmine absolutes, and 10–12 drops of citrus essential oils (pink grapefruit, bergamot, orange, etc.). It is recommended to create the perfume in a glass bottle with a rollerball applicator.  

Warnings
  • Do not apply pure (undiluted) essential oils directly to the skin, as they may cause severe irritation or burns. 
  • Do not ingest or take essential oils internally (unless prescribed by your doctor). 
  • Do not add pure (undiluted) essential oils directly to bath water, as this may cause serious skin irritation or burns. 
  • Never use essential oils in an inhaler. This device breaks essential oils into micro-particles that go directly into the lung alveoli. Such use can cause severe mucous membrane irritation, bronchospasm, or even chemical pneumonia. 
  • Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. 
  • For infants and children, use only age-appropriate essential oils. 
  • Use essential oils sparingly—the main principle of aromatherapy is “less is more.” 
  • Keep essential oils out of sight and reach of children. 
  • Store bottles in a dark, cool, and dry place, as exposure to environmental factors can alter or reduce the properties of essential oils.
