What is Ylang Ylang Oil?
Ylang ylang (pronounced "ee-lang ee-lang") comes from the flowers of the Cananga odorata tree, a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia and now cultivated in Madagascar, the Comoros Islands, and other tropical regions. The name "ylang ylang" means "flower of flowers" in Tagalog, reflecting its exquisite floral fragrance.
