Background

The jasmine flower comes from the Oleaceae plant family and is thought of as one of nature's aphrodisiacs because of its seductive scent. The flower's harvest is typically performed at night (or before the sun rises) when the white blossoms are at their most fragrant. Jasmine appropriately has the nickname "Queen of the Night"!


Extraction Method

The essential oil from jasmine is produced via solvent extraction because the small white flowers are so delicate. The essential oil is quite expensive as it takes a lot of flowers to make very little oil.

Helps to reduce anxiety and boost self-esteem: SOURCE


Intention

Ylang ylang essential oil found in Evening Body Serum and Evening Aromatherapy Candle was intentionally chosen because of its warm, sweet floral scent, a welcome distraction from a frazzled mind.

As a Middle Base note (along with cedarwood, jasmine and, palo santo), ylang ylang brings depth and stability. Its aromatic profile, floral, sweet, sensual, and faintly musky, is beautiful against the bergamot, cardamom, cedarwood, jasmine, and yuzu essential oils found in our serum and candle.

Background

Ylang ylang, pronounced ee-lang·ee-lang, comes from the Annonaceae Plant family, which, interestingly enough, contains only one species — Cananga odorata, known as the Cananga tree. In Malayan, ylang ylang means "flower of flowers." Best known for its aphrodisiac qualities, ylang ylang originates from South East Asia.


Extraction Method

Ylang ylang is steam and water distilled in stages called fractions from the beautiful flowers of the large, tropical ylang ylang tree to obtain its essential oil.
