Hi , Cat, Folks.....

The nice thing about ylang ylang, is that it about the most inexpensive

floral Essence around...It comes in 3 fractional distillations, a

complete, and an absolute....There's an 'extra' out there, also. I

suppose there is a concrete...There is also a cananga EO, which is a

different species type...

Some folks love it, other folks dislike it on its own, or your affection

for it may change with time...

The beauty of ylang and/or cananga, is that it can boost the force, so

to speak, of many more exotic florals, intensifying their effect...

I have played around with many of the ylang oils, the absolute, and the

cananga...I tend to gravitate to the ylang ylang 3.....but that is a

purely personal preference....

I would say it is a definite must for a Natural Perfumer's palette...

Care to All.....

I happen to quite fond of ylang.  I have the extra and the absolute and a

sample of the complete at the moment.  My favorite is the 3rd as well, . I

feel it is the creamiest of all of them, but it's kind of hard to find.  It was

the one I would always get because it is the one that Aura Cacia offers, and

Aura Cacia oils are readily available where I work, so it's easy for me to pick

some up.  Ylangs can also have sort of woody notes as well, kind of

rosewood-like.  The extra is sweeter and fruitier, with notes that remind me of

banana and bubble gum(perhaps from methyl salicylate?).  The absolute is

smoother, more suave and sophisticated, and a tad fresher.   The complete

reminds me most of the extra.  

 Ylang goes well with so many things; flowers, of course, but also spices,

citrus, vanilla and balsams.  I love it with lime, nutmeg, vanilla,

benzoin,coconut .  It goes with those oils like peanut butter and jelly-even

better. And it's great with frangipani and champaca-they being all tropical

flowers.  The tropical trio. The island sisters.    Muy Tropical!

It's also great to sweeten and smooth a blend that might be to sharp or pungent

or dry or raw.

Hi and all,

I also prefer Ylang ylang #3. In fact I'm using it in a blend I'm working on

now. To me, it has the least of that bubble gum-like (for lack of a better word)

overtone.

Yes, I can see that. Champaca, both white and gold have aspects of that as well.
