Smells incredible. The quality is exactly what they say it is.
Ylang Ylang is the oil that transforms a blend. One drop changes everything around it — the whole character of the room shifts. Most people use it twice and put it away because at premium prices one wrong drop feels like a waste rather than a lesson.
Some essential oil brands charge over $95 for 15ml of Ylang Ylang. At that price every drop feels precious. You don't experiment. You don't find the one-drop ratio that makes it perfect. You don't make the slow evening blend or the bath oil or the linen spray because none of it feels worth the cost.
At our price you experiment freely. You find the ratio. You make the blend. You put one drop in the diffuser on a Thursday evening because you felt like it and it cost you nothing to try.
That's the shift. Not the oil. What the price lets you do with it.
100% pure Ylang Ylang oil. Nothing added, nothing diluted. We've been selling pure essential oils since 1895. If it's not the best Ylang Ylang you've smelled, we'll refund you in full. No return, no questions, no expiry on that promise.

In a diffuser
Add 1–2 drops maximum to your diffuser with water — always blended with other oils. Run for 30–60 minutes at a time. Ylang Ylang is the most intense floral in this range — at 3 or more drops it becomes cloying and can cause headaches in sensitive people.
As a roller blend
Add the recommended drops to a 10ml roller bottle and top with a carrier oil. Apply to wrists, temples, the back of the neck, or the sternum. Never apply undiluted essential oil directly to skin.
In a spray
Add the recommended drops to 250ml of water with 1 teaspoon of methylated spirits as an emulsifier. Shake before each use. Spray on surfaces, fabrics, or into the air.
For topical use
Always dilute in a carrier oil before applying to skin. Do a patch test on your inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use, especially if you have sensitive skin. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
Storage
Keep in a cool, dark place — a cupboard or drawer is ideal. Keep the lid sealed between uses. Essential oils degrade with heat, light, and air exposure.
Ylang Ylang — dilution and caution
Use 1–2 drops maximum in a 100ml diffuser — always blended, never alone. For skin use, dilute to 1% for face and 2% for body. If you experience a headache while diffusing, reduce to 1 drop and increase ventilation.

Blend 1: Ylang Ylang + Lavender + Bergamot — "The Slow Evening"
One drop. That's all Ylang Ylang needs — it's the loudest oil in the range and it knows it. Behind Lavender and Bergamot it becomes the note that shifts the whole blend's character without dominating it. This is what the word "romantic" actually smells like, before candle companies got hold of it and turned it into something pink. 1 drop Ylang Ylang, 4 drops Lavender, 3 drops Bergamot. You've been trying to create this feeling with ambient lighting and a playlist. The missing element has always been the air.
Blend 2: Ylang Ylang + Orange + Patchouli — "The Unidentifiable Blend"
Orange is the sweetness. Patchouli is the depth. Ylang Ylang is the thing guests ask about and can't name. This combination — sold commercially under the name "Tranquil" by Plant Therapy — is the three-oil blend that most consistently produces a room people don't want to leave. 1 drop Ylang Ylang, 4 drops Orange, 1 drop Patchouli. Recognisable fragrance is comfortable. Unidentifiable fragrance is memorable. Your guests will remember what they couldn't name.
Blend 3: Ylang Ylang + Frankincense + Cedarwood — "The Quality of Sleep Blend"
All three are base notes. Nothing sharp. Nothing citrus. Nothing that asks your brain to do anything. This blend arrives slowly, stays long, and tells your nervous system the day is over before you've decided it is. Run from 9pm. Switch off before sleep — this one is for the wind-down, not the night. 1 drop Ylang Ylang, 3 drops Frankincense, 4 drops Cedarwood. You can measure how long you sleep. What you miss is the quality of sleep you remember from before everything changed. That's what this is for.
Blend 4: Ylang Ylang + Geranium + Lemon — "The Face Oil Diffuser"
You're spending real money on the face oil. You're applying it in whatever the bathroom smells like that morning. Ylang Ylang and Geranium are the two oils cited most consistently for skin-supportive aromatherapy in a diffused context. Lemon keeps the blend from going too rich for a bathroom. 1 drop Ylang Ylang, 3 drops Geranium, 4 drops Lemon. The product works on your skin. This works on the ten minutes around it.
Blend 5: Ylang Ylang + Rosewood + Lavender — "The One Quiet Hour"
The book is chosen. The tea is made. The phone is not in this room. Rosewood is the softest oil in the range — no edges, no medicinal character, nothing that asks for attention. Ylang Ylang adds warmth. Lavender adds calm. This blend isn't therapeutic. It's environmental design. 1 drop Ylang Ylang, 3 drops Rosewood, 4 drops Lavender. You've decorated the chair. Chosen the book. Made the tea. The air is still the office. This fixes that.

How many drops do I use in a diffuser?
1–2 drops in a 100ml diffuser — maximum. Ylang Ylang is the most intense floral in this range. At 3 or more drops it becomes cloying and can cause headaches in sensitive people. The correct use of Ylang Ylang is as a supporting player at low concentration, not the lead.
Can I apply it directly to my skin?
Dilute first. Ylang Ylang can cause skin sensitisation at high concentrations. Dilute to 1% for face use and 2% for body use. It's widely used in hair care products — add 3–5 drops per 30ml of carrier oil for a scalp treatment. Patch test before use.
I used 3 drops and got a headache — is that normal?
Yes, unfortunately. Ylang Ylang is one of the oils most commonly associated with headaches when used at too high a concentration. Drop to 1 drop, ensure the room is ventilated, and run the diffuser for 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off rather than continuously.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
Ylang Ylang appears on the generally-considered-safe list from the International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists for pregnancy when used in low dilution and in moderation. Given its potency, be especially conservative with quantity during pregnancy. Check with your midwife or healthcare provider before use.
Is it safe around pets?
Diffuse at very low concentrations in a ventilated space with the door open. Ylang Ylang's intensity can be overwhelming for animals with sensitive noses. Never apply to a pet's fur or skin. If your pet leaves the room when you run the diffuser, that's their signal — respect it and ventilate more.

Ylang Ylang oil (Cananga odorata) is steam distilled from the flowers of the ylang ylang tree, native to the tropical rainforests of the Philippines, Indonesia, and the Comoros Islands. The flowers must be harvested at night or early morning when their aromatic compounds are at peak concentration, and distillation begins immediately — the oil degrades quickly once picked.
The distillation is fractional — different grades are drawn off at different stages. "Extra" is the first fraction, the finest and most floral. Grades I, II, and III follow, becoming progressively more diffuse. "Complete" is the full distillation run together. For aromatherapy use, Extra or Complete are most appropriate.
Its scent is the most intensely floral in this range — rich, sweet, and slightly narcotic at high concentrations, which is why the dosing caution is genuine rather than precautionary. Research into Ylang Ylang's effect on blood pressure and heart rate has produced consistent results — inhalation measurably reduces both in clinical settings.
Our Ylang Ylang oil is 100% pure steam-distilled Cananga odorata flower oil. No carrier, no dilution, no synthetic fragrance.
