Question 1

What is the difference between the various ylang ylang fractions (Extra, I, II, III, Complete)?

Accepted Answer

Ylang ylang oil is collected in several distillation fractions. Extra is the earliest fraction, the most floral and intense in the top note, a premium choice for perfumery. I, II and III contain progressively less volatile constituents. Complete is a blend of all fractions with a balanced profile. This product corresponds to the I fraction, floral and well balanced.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml ylang ylang 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 and ylang ylang ages particularly well. Once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxygen gradually alters the aromatic profile.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Essential oils are generally diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba), typically at 1-2% concentration for skin preparations (ylang ylang is intense, so a low concentration is sufficient). For sensitive skin, a patch test on the inner elbow is recommended. For use on children or during pregnancy, please consult a qualified professional.
