What is Ylang-Ylang
Friday, March 16, 2018
Ylang-Ylang is a super popular scent used in perfumes like Chanel No. 5 and an amazing holistic ingredient. It actually comes from the Cananga Tree which originated in Indonesia. It can now be found in the Philippines, Madagascar, and in Malaysia. The Cananga tree is actually a part of the custard apple family! The flowers of the Cananga are distilled and from them comes Ylang-Ylang essential oil.
Some of the most popular benefits of this essential oil are:
- relieving high blood pressure
- normalizing the oils in your skin which is helpful if you have skin problems
- for the same reason as above it is great for scalp health
- powerful antioxidant
- aphrodisiac

This oil has been used for centuries in spiritual, religious, and wedding ceremonies.
In my opinion this oil smells amazing. I actually use it in my ApotheKayla Signature Blend. It is a woodsy yet light floral scent. Almost like a musk but not harsh.
Positive emotions associated with Ylang-Ylang: Freedom, joyfulness, acceptance, intuition enhancement, playfulness.
The emotional benefits of this oil are centered on the heart and accessing our intuition, you know those gut feelings. Ylang-Ylang is known for connecting one with their child-self which allows us as adults to heal.
As I said earlier, I love this oil so much it is one of the four in my ApotheKayla Signature Blend It is also in my Love Potion recipe. I hope this post resonated with you and if so I would love for you to share it on your favorite social media pages. Make sure you tag @apothekayla and I will RT, or share!
Thanks for reading and be well!

Love Potion

To be honest when I first came up with this perfume I was mixing this blend because these are some of my favorite scents. I had no idea that they were so healing and romantically intense!
This spray smells amazing, and you can spray it on your pulse points (neck or the back of your wrist for example) or you can spray it onto your pillows to enhance the "mood" in the bedroom!
The blend is super simple:
Fill your container with witch hazel. Then add 20 drops of Rosemary Essential oil, 15 drops of Ylang-ylang Essential oil, and 10 drops of Patchoulli Essential oil.This is the blend I use, you can adjust the ratio a little or add in 10 Drops of Clary Sage to change up the scent.
You can wear this as your daily perfume if you like, just because you spritz your wrist does not mean you will have men falling over you at the market.. The best part about this mixture is that it will smell different on each person that applies it.
The essential oils in this mixture work on the aromatherapy level to sooth any emotional tension you have around "love"; whether it is self love, or frustrations in relationships.
