Produced by a reputable certified organic distiller in Madagascar, it embodies a full and complete distillation process of the exotic Cananga odorata flowers, ensuring maximum aromatic and therapeutic potency. Unlike other varieties, Ylang Ylang Complete is not separated into grades such as I, II, or III, but offers a holistic scent profile that captures the flower’s full complexity.
The distillation process significantly influences the oil’s quality and characteristics. Longer distillation times—typically six hours or more—produce grade III oils which are more economical but less concentrated. Conversely, shorter distillation periods, ranging from 1 to 5 hours, yield higher-quality oils with a more refined, potent aroma, and greater therapeutic benefits.
