Ylang Ylang essential oil is extracted from steam-distilled, star-shaped flowers of the Cananga odorata trees. These bright flowers grow in lush, tropical climates like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Madagascar. Did you know that the climate where the trees grow changes how the flowers smell? Young Living’s Ylang Ylang oil comes from two climates: Madagascar and Ecuador. The lovely trees flourishing at the Finca Botanica Farm in Ecuador are the only source for Ylang Ylang in that climate, which gives our oil a unique scent profile.

Totally addicted to Ylang Ylang! I use as a perfume with orange and nutmeg.
How do you mix it? Is it in a spray bottle or undiluted? Thank you!
I use it in my foaming body wash- heavenly!
What is your recipe for Foaming Body Wash? I have been looking for one.
Thank you.
This gorgeous oil is a perfect example of Young Living's Passion for and commitment to quality: including both purity AND potency. The hand picked blossoms give us a special clue that they are ripe and ready to offer up their oil-- the little red dot at the base of the petals.
They are picked early in the morning for optimal oil production. I will never forget the intoxicating aroma in the groves in early morning as I went on my daily run while visiting the farm near Guayaquil, Ecuador this Spring.
This is my FAVORITE oil after Frank ;)
I pair it with Orange in a roller and apply to my wrists, neck and over my heart a few times a day. I call it my "Happy Mama" blend <3
I use Ylang Ylang in my facial serum. It's a great oil for the skin. I use it in my hair conditioning treatment and I love the way it makes my hair smell-I couldn't live without this oil! It's also in my perfume I made with Jasmine and Balsam of Peru. Glad to know how to pronounce it correctly!
I use it in my face wash and I love using it as perfume! I diffuse it when I'm feeling down! I just love it! I just found a new way to use it thanks to this info! I never thought of using it with Jasmine!
Totally attracted to this oil and whatever blend it is in. Where can I get more information on the "heart note" . I've read about the notes but don't recall reading that particular phrase.
Hi Cheryl, glad you enjoyed this post! An internet search for "perfume heart note" should be a good start for more information. Hope this helps!
I like to use Ylang Ylang at night time, combine with geranium, rose with barrier oil, rub on face, neck and shoulders area. Very good to keep smooth skin, smell good and sleep better.
Ylang Ylang is one of my favorite oils. It makes me smile when I'm having a bad day. I love to diffuse it with orange and lavendar! Happy heart! ❤❤❤
Love love love!! On my wrists, back of my neck & of course in my hands & breath in deeply! Heavenly... a blessing from God
