From Asia to Victoria's England
The Ylang Ylang tree is indigenous to the lush tropical forests of Asia. The large trees produce yellow blossoms with a potent floral fragrance. In the Malayan language, Ylang Ylang means flower of flowers.
Asian women have relied on Ylang Ylang for centuries as an aphrodisiac. Indonesian newlyweds traditionally place Ylang Ylang on the marriage bed and woman throughout Asia use the rich oil to maintain long, healthy, shiny hair.
But the allure of Ylang Ylang is not limited to the tropics. During the reign of England's Queen Victoria, Ylang Ylang was an ingredient in the famed Macassar hair oil that promoted hair growth through scalp stimulation.
Today, Ylang Ylang is used in massage oils, floral perfumes and baths. Additionally, it acts as an antidepressant and antiseptic.
From the Plant to Primavera to You
Once the blossoms are harvested, it takes 50 lbs of fresh-picked blossoms to yield 1lbs of Ylang Ylang Essential Oil. Primavera offers two types of Ylang Ylang oil: Ylang Ylang Complete and Ylang Ylang Extra.
Ylang Ylang complete is cultivated in Madagascar and is a complete oil, containing all the chemical fractions.
Ylang Ylang Extra is of a finer quality due to a shorter distillation process. The shorter process results in a more intensely aromatic oil.
Drizzle a luxurious Ylang Ylang-infused massage oil over your body for an unparalleled sensual experience. Or take a depression and fatigue-fighting Ylang Ylang bath to perk up.
