Ylang Ylang (Cananga odorata) Essential Oil — 10 ml

Introduction
Ylang Ylang essential oil, often called the “Flower of Flowers,” is one of the most sensual and luxurious tropical oils. With its intensely floral, sweet, and exotic aroma, it is prized in perfumery and wellness traditions alike. In Thailand and across Southeast Asia, the blossoms of the ylang ylang tree symbolize beauty, romance, and spiritual connection. At Herbsmetics, we feature Ylang Ylang oil in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket, where guests discover its depth as a perfume heart note and its powerful relaxing qualities.
