The essential oil is derived from the tropical tree Canaga Odarata which originates in the Philippines, and now throughout Asia. The tree has pink, mauve or yellow flowers, the best quality oil coming from the yellow flowers. The oil varies from colourless to pale yellow and has a heavy, exotic and intensely sweet fragrance. Ylang Ylang has relaxing yet uplifting properties and is also known for its sensual and aphrodisiac qualities.
There are four different grades of Ylang Ylang oil categorised by the length of distillation. The first and best quality is Ylang Extra, normally used in the perfume industry. There are then a further three grades, simply 1,2 and 3. The better grade being No. 1. You can also find a grade called Ylang Complete or Canaga, which is usually a mixture of all three grades. In all cases the bottle should clearly state the grade as this is often reflected in the price.
