We are pleased to offer our Ylang Ylang Extra essential oil, which is carefully crafted by our expert artisan distiller using fresh Cananga odorata flowers. The term "Extra" indicates the highest quality fraction of essential oil collected during the first hour of distillation. This results in the sweetest and most floral aroma of all Ylang Ylang essential oils, making it a truly remarkable oil.
Ylang Ylang essential oil has a unique distillation process that results in varying degrees or fractions, categorized as 3rd, 2nd, 1st, Complete, and Extra. Distillation times of six or more hours result in the 3rd fraction, which is the most economical. However, shorter distillation times, between 1-5 hours, provide higher-quality fractions. Our Ylang Ylang Extra is the result of 60 minutes of distillation, producing an exceptional quality oil.
