It has a disinfecting and purifying effect and has a sophisticated tangy fragrance.
YLANG YLANG OIL – CANANGA ODORATA FLOWER OIL
The large, but very fugacious blossoms have such a strong and sweet fragrance, that you can smell an ylang ylang tree in blossom even from a great distance.
They have to be picked early in the morning and be processed and distilled immediately, as otherwise they would lose their fragrance, which cannot be confused with any other plant scent. Originally the tree is native to the Philippines and to Indonesia.

The fresh and fruity grapefruit oil is obtained through cold pressing of the fruit skins. Especially in Japan, its pleasant nurturing properties were demonstrably appreciated already at least two thousand years ago. Apart from its distinctive scent, it provides moisture and, additionally, purifies and firms the skin.
