Ylang ylang…so good they named it twice!

The most important aspect of “the flower of flowers” is how it brings things back to centre and achieves equilibrium. This has many applications not only as a calming mechanism to stress, but for skincare and hormonal imbalance. Deliciously seductive the beautiful flower from Madagascar is a quintessentially vital oil in every aromatherapist’s box.

Its aroma is exquisitely feminine, bringing to mind the exotic leis of flowers decorating the beautiful Polynesian women. Smiling, mellow, inviting, these are completely the medicines of ylang ylang.
