Ylang Ylang (Comoros)

The warm and slightly spicy nuances make it perfect for intricate blends that evoke romantic, island-like experiences.

History & Production: The Comoros Islands are known as one of the premier sources of Ylang Ylang, thanks to their ideal tropical climate and soil conditions. Cultivated as part of local tradition, Ylang Ylang flowers are carefully hand-picked to preserve their delicate petals and aroma. Steam distillation is performed to extract the oil, a process that involves various stages to create the distinct "extra" and "complete" oils. This oil is prized by perfumers for its intensity and captivating floral profile.
