Our Ylang Ylang Extra essential oil is distilled from fresh Cananga oderata flowers by our artisan distiller. Extra refers to the essential oil collected during the first hour. Extra is the sweetest, most floral aroma of all Ylang Ylang essential oils. One difference between Ylang Ylang and other essential oils is the distillation time resulting in varying degrees, or fractions, categorized as 3rd, 2nd, 1st, Complete, and Extra. Distillation of six or more hours results in 3rd and considered the most economical. Shorter distillation times between 1-5 hours provide higher qualities. This Ylang Ylang Extra is the result of the first 60 minutes of distillation.
