Ylang Ylang 3rd
(Cananga oderata var. genuina)
In the Molucca Islands, an ointment is made from ylang ylang and cucuma flowers
in a coconut oil base for cosmetic and hair care, skin diseases,
to prevent fever (including malaria) and fight infections. Used to sooth
insect bites and is thought to have a tefulating effect on cardiac and respiratory
rhythm. There are several grades of ylang ylang. The first distillate is
called top grade, followed by grades 1, 2 and 3. Many perfumers consider
ylang ylang to be a 'full' oil with its own top, middle and base notes. Use
in moderation.
