Our Ylang-ylang Essential Oil Extra is grown and extracted here in the Philippines. Native to the country, they are usually strung with sampaguita to form garlands of flowers to be sold at churches. Ylang-ylang’s popularly accepted
translation is “flower of flowers.” Regarded as an aphrodisiac in some
countries of Asia, the flowers of Ylang-ylang are traditionally laid out in
matrimonial beds. The perfume industry utilizes much of the oils produced from
Ylang-ylang because of its sweet, fruity and fragrant smell.
Here in the Philippines, several provinces have been actively producing
Ylang-ylang essential oil. Our essential oil is called "extra" because
it comes from the first few hours of distillation and contains the most
volatile components of Ylang-ylang. Other grades are Ylang-ylang II,
Ylang-ylang III and Ylang-ylang complete.
