Ylang-ylang from Comoros Islands
“In terms of scent, ylang-ylang is classified as a white flower.
Lighter than jasmine, softer than tuberose and less green than orange blossom, I think it’s joyous and gently intoxicating. It is sunny which gives it the feeling of holidays and warmth which I especially like.”
Patricia de Nicolaï
Olfactory notes:
Ylang-ylang diffuses its sweet, floral, warm and jasmine notes. It brings cheeriness and the exotic to each creation.
Origin:
It is in this slice of paradise, the Comoros Islands, that this delicate, sun-scented flower grows.
Harvest:
Its tree is regularly pruned so that those harvesting can easily reach the flowers.
They are collected when mature, offering a splendid yellow colour with petals about 5 centimetres long. Picked by hand early in the morning, the flowers are immediately taken to the distillery.
Extraction:
Steam distillation is used, and the yield is low, thus its scarcity.
In fact, it takes between 350 to 400 kilograms of flowers to produce one kilo of essential oil.
