Native to Southeast Asia, Philippines and Indonesia; and now cultivated in Madagascar and Comoro Islands, Ylang Ylang tree can grow up to 20 meters in height. It is evergreen with large shiny ovate leaves with brittle wood and drooping branches. The essential oil is derived from steam distillation of the plant’s flowering parts.
There are 5 diversifications of the oil. The oil derived from the first 1-2 hours of the distillation process is called ‘Extra’. The next I, II, III grades are obtained in the subsequent hours by fragments of time specifically determined. The Ylang-ylang ‘Complete’ is rolled-out after undergoing almost 6-20 hours of the distillation process.
