Question 1

What is the difference between Ylang Ylang Extra, I, II, III and Complete fractions?

Accepted Answer

The fractions correspond to time stages of steam distillation. The Extra and I fractions are early, volatile, with an intensely sweet-floral aroma. The III fraction is the late-stage distillate: less sweet, deeper and woodier, with greater longevity. Complete is the blended oil of the full distillation. The III fraction works well as a perfumery base note.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml Ylang Ylang III essential oil be stored and how long does it keep?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Unopened, Cananga odorata oil typically keeps for 2-3 years. Once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxygen gradually alters the aromatic profile.

Question 3

Can Ylang Ylang III essential oil be applied directly to the skin, or does it need to be diluted?

Accepted Answer

Ylang Ylang essential oil should be diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba), typically at 0.5-2% concentration for skin preparations, since it contains intense aroma components with sensitising potential. A patch test is recommended on sensitive skin. For use on children or during pregnancy, please consult a qualified professional.
