What you didn't know about ylang-ylang oil

Ylang-ylang is a tree with delicate yellow flowers that grows in the tropics. It is from these flowers that the essential oil, known throughout the world as ylang-ylang oil, is extracted. The yield of finished oil is 2% of the mass of colors used. This is one of the most unusual essential oils used in cosmetics and perfumery.

The second name of the tree is the Kanang tree. Interestingly, ylang-ylang oil and canang oil are not the same thing. The first is obtained by the first distillation, and the second, thicker and of lower quality, by the second distillation using steam. If you compare their aromas, the smell of canang oil will be more heavy and nauseating.

Kananga grows mainly in Asia, Indonesia and the Philippines, you can see these trees on the islands of Java, Sumatra and Madagascar.
