Star Child Ylang Ylang Organic Essential Oil • Intense Exotic Floral for Perfume, Love & Ritual
Ylang Ylang Organic Essential Oil is an intensely fragrant floral oil with a rich sweetness, warm balsamic depth and an unmistakably sensual character.
This 5ml Star Child essential oil is produced from Cananga odorata and supplied from Madagascar. Its perfume is powerful even in very small amounts, making it particularly valuable in natural fragrance, aromatic blending and ritual work centred on love, beauty, sensuality and connection.
Ylang Ylang is not a shy floral. It is lush, sweet and heady, with enough warmth and depth to sit comfortably beside Jasmine, Rose, Benzoin, Vetivert and other richly aromatic materials.

The supplied material describes Ylang Ylang as steam distilled, but it does not confirm the commercial distillation grade. I would therefore avoid terms such as Extra, I, II, III or Complete unless the current supplier specification identifies one.
What Does Ylang Ylang Smell Like?
Ylang Ylang has one of the most distinctive scents in essential-oil perfumery.
The opening is intensely floral and sweet, but underneath that sweetness lies a warmer balsamic quality that gives the fragrance body.
There can also be a slightly exotic, almost creamy character that separates it from the cleaner floral profile of Lavender or the sharper rosy quality of Geranium.
With Jasmine or Tuberose, it becomes dramatically floral.
Rose gives it a softer romantic character.
Benzoin and Amyris deepen the sweetness.
Vetivert brings contrast with dry earthiness, while Bergamot can brighten a composition that might otherwise become too rich.
A Little Goes a Long Way
Ylang Ylang is powerful.
Its perfume can dominate a blend very quickly, so it is usually more effective when introduced sparingly.
That strength is part of its appeal in natural perfumery: even a small amount can give a floral composition warmth, richness and persistence.
Too much, however, can become overwhelming.
The supplied traditional material also notes that excessive aromatic exposure may cause headache or nausea in some people, another good reason to use it lightly.
Ylang Ylang in Natural Perfumery
Ylang Ylang is especially useful where a perfume needs a lush floral centre.
It works beautifully between bright top notes and deeper woody or resinous bases.
Bergamot can sit above it.
Rose and Jasmine can surround it.
Vetivert, Benzoin or Amyris can anchor it beneath.
That versatility helps explain why Ylang Ylang has such a long history in perfumery and scented body preparations.
