History & Production: The French island of Mayotte, part of the Comoros archipelago, boasts a rich history of Ylang Ylang cultivation. The climate and soil here yield flowers with especially high oil content, prized for perfumery. Harvested by hand at dawn, the petals undergo a careful steam distillation process that results in a high-quality oil.
