Essential oils are liquid plant essences that are genuine reflections of the botanicals from which they’re born. Our ingredients consist of pure ylang ylang extra oil only, created through a natural steam distillation process, offering the purest and most potent natural essential oil available. Natural essential oils are highly concentrated and should be used with care. For an aroma that won't let your feet touch the ground try Cloud 9 Blend: Add 1 drop each of ylang ylang oil and rose absolute oil, 5 drops of patchouli oil and 4 drops of sandalwood oil blend to a diffuser and enjoy. Brand Story By NOW Foods Review: This lovely scent can carry my spirit away to beautiful places - I'm super delighted that I purchased this wonderful ylang ylang by Now. I've never had ylang ylang extra before and it is very superior to ylang ylang III. Ylang extra is a higher quality and more expensive essential oil due to the distillation process. Having purchased ylang III in the past, as that was what was available in the health food stores, I thought that was what ylang smelled like: wonderfully exotic but kind of a medicinal petrolium unpleasant undertone. This Now ylang extra lacks that medicinal petro undertone and is so lovely it can even be worn as a perfume oil. I like to put a couple drops (it's very strong) on my lava bead bracelet and inhale to feel a dreamy improved mood and reduce inflammation. This lovely scent can carry my spirit away to beautiful places. Benefits of ylang are numerous and I will be using it more now that I have discovered Now ylang. For strong healthy hair and to prevent breakage I mix this ylang along with clary sage into hair products or even rub one or two drops in my hands to smooth onto wet freshly washed hair which smell fabulous. For shine and softness, I add Now 100% chamomile. I had no idea that ylang extra would be so fabulous and superior. Very impressed Now! Review: Excellent (and strong) Essential Oil! - After having a really bad tension-inducing month I decided to experiment with some Ylang Ylang to try to knock my blood pressure down to manageable level. So I applied a small drop of this to each pulse point on the wrists and into the crook of the elbows. That was about mid-afternoon. I wandered around for the rest of the day, yawning every five minutes until bedtime, then fell asleep with a violent hypnic jerk that threw one arm towards the ceiling with so much force that it actually flipped me over. Learned three things from this.... 1. This is really good pure (and strong) Ylang Ylang oil that does exactly what is claimed for an essential oil. 2. NEVER use essential oils uncut. Next time I need to lower my blood pressure, I'll be cutting this with some grapeseed oil or something. My poor body thought it was dying when I finally lay down to sleep. I can live without that experience again. 3. Four drops is too much. Twenty minutes later you will resemble the lead carcass from "Day of the Dead". ## Features - ESSENTIAL AROMATHERAPY: Ylang Ylang is soothing, comforting and romantic with a pleseant, floral scent that promotes relaxation and inspires romance.

(I dislike licorice). Thanks** A: Not licorice so much, but it is a strongly scented oil. If you are using ylang-ylang for its properties, you can't really worry about the scent. It works well with pulling debris from the pores. I combine it with clary sage in cold process soap for a good complexion bar. Clary sage helps combat fungus and yeast, which is the cause of a lot of acne. **Q: What's the "extra"?** A: Hi Ruthie H. It's the oil that is extracted first. It's the most purest/organic/potent so to speak during the extracting process. Ylang-ylang is extracted in 3 phases I believe which consists of Ylang-ylang Extra in phase one. Ylang-ylang ll, then ylang-ylang lll. Think of it in terms of Extra Virgin olive oil. Hope this helps. **Q: Can anyone please give me an idea of what Ylang Ylang smells like? Is it like a white flower, woodsy, citrus, etc,....and is it more of a masculine fragrance or feminine? Any extensive descriptions would be greatly appreciated!~ thanks!** A: Wow, these answers were very helpful, weren't they? Someone said Ylang Ylang smells like over-ripe bananas. Ridiculous. Someone else said it has a citrus-like smell. Wrong. Another described it as smelling like licorice. Uh, no. Someone else said the smell was sort of like gardenia, which is at least in the ball park. Since this question was posted in 2013, I suppose the person who asked might possibly be dead by now, but hopefully this will be helpful to someone. I find Ylang Ylang to be almost floral neutral, you don't actually think "flower" when you smell it, but its definitely closer to a flower than grass. It's actually somewhat cologne-like, easy to use in formulas designed for men, and is considered gender neutral, unlike Jasmine, which is strongly feminine. No one can really explain a fragrance, you have to experience it for yourself. Ylang Ylang is unique, not unlike Lotus, though quite a bit sweeter. **Q: can you use this in the diffuser?** A: Hi there. Yes you can. I love the smell. It's a soft light scented oil. If you are looking for a strong scent for your diffuser like eucalyptus...this is not the oil for you. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This lovely scent can carry my spirit away to beautiful places *by G***N on March 8, 2020* I'm super delighted that I purchased this wonderful ylang ylang by Now.

Twenty minutes later you will resemble the lead carcass from "Day of the Dead". ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Most beautiful floral fragrance *by L***E on February 15, 2021* I have stayed with the NOW brand of Ylang Ylang for about 20 years. NOW is reliable and doesn't substitute the Ylang Ylang flower with bark and synthetics like some companies are doing. I enjoy using a few drops of Ylang Ylang in my bathwater for a wonderful soothing bath. I also use it as an alternative fragrance in my homemade skin moisturizer, deoderant, and soap. The NOW Ylang Ylang is fulll bodied. You honestly only need a tiny dab on one wrist to act as your perfume for the day. This is my opinion from experience. Ylang Ylang works best as the only fragrance in whatever type of batch you are creating. Don't add or mix other floral, sap, or woody fragrance with Ylang Ylang. And remember, a little dab 'll do ya.
