Ylang Ylang
Cananga odorata
Rich, sweet and floral, with a banana-cream warmth.
Ylang ylang is the most opulent of our florals, heady and sweet with a creamy, almost tropical warmth. It is distilled in fractions; we use the finer early ones for a softer, less cloying flower.
The source
The Indian Ocean islands
Ylang ylang grows on the islands of Madagascar and the Comoros, the flowers picked at dawn when the scent is highest. Steam-distilled in fractions, we take the finer early ones for a softer, less cloying flower.
