A prominent member of the Annonaceae family of flowering trees, ylang ylang (“ee-lang ee-lang”) originates from Indonesia and the Philippines, and can be found elsewhere in the South Pacific. The plant's eye-catching star-like blooms are the source of its warm, heady and floral essential oil, which is created during a lengthy steam-distillation process. This method yields different grades of oil, including ylang ylang extra and varieties designated as I, II or III, each bearing their own uniquely captivating subtleties.

Traditionally associated with romance and sensuality throughout the globe, ylang ylang is often categorized by three levels. Considered the most premium of the fragrant trio, ylang ylang I is collected during the first few hours of distillation and is notably floral, while ylang ylang II downplays the flower notes slightly and is ideal for blending. Finally, ylang ylang III arrives towards the end of the process, bearing a sweeter presence that garners comparisons to fine bourbon. Available individually, these three forms are sometimes found combined as Ylang Ylang I, II, III, which is also known as "ylang ylang complete."
