History: Ylang ylang essential oil is derived from the flowers of the Cananga tree (Cananga odorata), native to tropical regions of Asia, particularly Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. The oil is obtained through a steam distillation process, with the first distillation (Ylang Ylang I) yielding the most intense and aromatic oil. The subsequent distillations, Ylang Ylang II and III, produce oils with progressively lighter and less intense aromas.

Ylang ylang III is often preferred for its more subtle and gentle scent, making it suitable for applications where a lighter floral note is desired. Its versatility and beneficial properties have made it a popular choice in both traditional and modern wellness practices.

Traditionally, ylang ylang flowers were used in Indonesia to decorate the beds of newlyweds, symbolizing love and romance. The oil has a long history of use in traditional medicine and cosmetic applications, celebrated for its therapeutic and aromatic benefits.
