How much do I need?

Ylang Ylang III essential oil is the most approachable expression of one of the most celebrated florals in natural perfumery. 

Distilled from the flowers of Cananga odorata through a fractional process, Grade III is collected later in the distillation, giving it a softer, more rounded character than higher grades so it’s less heady, more balanced, and significantly easier to blend with confidence. It brings genuine warmth and exotic floral depth to body oils, massage blends, hair care products, and natural fragrances without the risk of overwhelming a formula.

For makers who want the beauty of ylang ylang without its more challenging edges, Grade III is the natural starting point.

How to use

Diffuse to set a calm, inviting, and romantically warm mood in any space. Ylang Ylang is one of the most well-known floral oils in natural perfumery and has long been associated with emotional calm, romance, and sensory indulgence.

Frequently used in body oils, massage blends, and bath products where its lush floral quality creates a spa-like experience. A popular addition to natural perfumes, roll-on fragrance blends, and solid perfumes, where it adds a soft, exotic floral heart note.

Commonly included in hair care products, including hair masks, hair oils, and scalp treatments. Often found in skin care formulations such as facial serums and body butters, particularly in products designed for dry or dull skin.

Used in wedding and romance-themed blends, candles, and gift products for its warm, floral sweetness.

The Grade III fraction is especially popular for blending because it is less sharp and more rounded than higher grades, making it approachable even for those new to working with Ylang Ylang.

Dilute before topical use.

Caution

Skin sensitivity may occur. Essential oils are highly concentrated and should be diluted before applying directly to the skin. Keep out of reach from children. If pregnant or breastfeeding please ask your doctor before use.
