Ylang Ylang essential oil is extracted from steam-distilled, star-shaped flowers of the Cananga odorata trees. These bright flowers grow in lush, tropical climates like Malaysia, Indonesia, and Madagascar. Did you know that the climate where the trees grow changes how the flowers smell? Young Living’s Ylang Ylang oil comes from two climates: Madagascar and Ecuador. The lovely trees flourishing at the Finca Botanica Farm in Ecuador are the only source for Ylang Ylang in that climate, which gives our oil a unique scent profile.

I love to mix Ylang Ylang in diffuser with patchouli. It creates a warm, romantic, relaxing fragrance to me.
I keep it in one of my EO Diffuser necklaces. Awesome fragrance that I share with others when they seemed stress. "Have a Sniff my friend". 🌴🌞🎋🌹
I love mixing it with grapefruit, orange or bergamot as a perfume or in the diffuser for the bedroom. It's amazing.

I am brand new and excited about YLEO and all these ideas and recipes. This kind of info really spurs me on. Thank you, everyone!
A few drops on my "huggy" pillow and I sleep happy. My favorite after Frankincense.
In my DIY body lotion...love it with Bergamot!
Oh my YES it goes great with Bergamot... I like to add Ylang Ylang, Bergamot and Ceaderwood to my bathwater.
There are couple of posts regarding DIY lotions. What is your base oil and amounts? Thank you
I am currently enjoying Ylang Ylang when practicing Tai Chi. It helps to energize me yet centers me. I put it on my wrists so that as they move, the scent encircles me!
I like using it when I work with the chakras, to balance the second chakra. It helps support creativity and joy.
I'm interested what other oils work with your beards.
Hey Marsha! Here is a post that we did about beards. Essential Oils for Beards I hope this will help and thanks for stopping by!
I haven't tried this one yet but I know it smells good. We have a lot of Ylang Ylang trees in my country. As a child, we used to put the flower's petals in between our books, notebooks, inside our bags, and also make a necklace/garland out of it as a gift for high school or college graduates. The smell of Ylang Ylang flower is almost similar to coffee flowers.
