Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata)

Ylang Ylang is a fast-growing tropical tree in the custard apple family (Annonaceae), native to India and mainland Southeast Asia, now widely cultivated in tropical regions around the world for its essential oil. Also known as “poor man’s Jasmine”, Ylang Ylang oil is employed for its calming and relaxing effects, and to help soothe feelings of anger and frustration,. Its heady and floral fragrance is both uplifting and grounding, associated with the heart and sacral chakras and the themes of compassion, creativity, pleasure and authentic self-expression. A deeply rich fragrance, the oil helps to clear stagnant energy from auras and physical spaces, promoting freshness and renewal.
