History of Ylang ylang essential oil

Ylang ylang is one of the most popular ingredients in perfumery. It is used in the composition of many famous perfumes, including Chanel No. 5.

In alang-alang, a dialect spoken in the Philippines, the term ylang ylang refers to the flowers that dance in the breeze, and in Indonesian, it means "flower of flowers", due to the flowery, sensual and exotic scent of its flowers.

In local traditional medicine, it was used to treat malaria.

Known as an aphrodisiac in Indonesia, its petals are traditionally scattered on the beds of newlyweds.

In the Philippines, its flowers are braided with those of sampaguita (Arabian jasmine) to arrange them around holy images or to make necklaces.

Arriving in the 18th century in the Pacific Islands, ylang ylang was used by the Vahinés. They macerated its petals in coconut oil, to concoct an elixir to preserve the beauty of their skin and hair.
