The Story

Ylang ylang is the oil of contrast — intensely floral but with a warm, almost woody depth underneath. Used in aromatherapy for its ability to lower cortisol and reduce anxiety, and on skin and hair for its ability to balance sebum production. It is one of the most complex natural scents in existence — worn on the skin, it changes throughout the day, becoming quieter and warmer as the hours pass.

The Ritual

Dilute in a carrier oil before applying to skin. Add 2–3 drops to a diffuser for immediate mood-shifting. Use in hair oil blends for shine and scalp balance.
