Ylang Ylang Extra Organic Essential Oil

Cananga odorata
£15.99

Benefits & How To Use

Ylang Ylang Extra Organic Cananga odorata (3041 – 5ml)

‘Extra’ means that it is from the early stages of distillation, and has the most striking and powerful top notes. This has the most incredibly powerful top notes, ethereal, light and immensely complex. An immediate ‘hit’ to the limbic system when inhaled.

This is a pure therapeutic-quality certified organic aromatherapy essential oil from Madagascar, and is obtained from the blossoms of the plant.

Help me choose: If you are trying to decide between the organic and the non-organic, the organic appears to have more brilliance, and the non-organic perhaps is a little ‘heavier, with more substance.
