Ylang Ylang Category 3 Madagascar (Cananga Odorata) 5 ml essential oil

Ylang-ylang essential oil (Cananga odorata), especially its category III , is an aromatic gem from Madagascar, renowned for its deep and enveloping olfactory profile. Unlike lighter fractions, this category offers a more balsamic, dense, and complex fragrance, ideal for oriental and sensual compositions. 

 

🌺 What is Ylang Ylang essential oil?

Ylang-ylang is extracted from the flowers of the Cananga odorata tree, native to Southeast Asia and widely cultivated in Madagascar. A steam distillation process produces different fractions of the essential oil, classified into categories Extra, I, II, and III, depending on the distillation time. Category III is obtained after a longer process, resulting in an oil with heavier, balsamic notes.
