Safety & Warnings
Non-toxic, though it may cause skin irritation or be sensitizing, especially with young children. Use in low dilution when applying to the skin, such as in bath or massage oils. In their book Essential Oil Safety by Tisserand and Young (second edition), recommends a maximum topical use of 0.8%. Do not use on inflamed skin, hypersensitive skin, diseased or damaged skin or on dermatitis. Ylang Ylang can lead to headaches and nausea with people sensitive to the oil.

United StatesIs it you or is it me?
This scent is described as exotic, sweet, and sensual floral, but it smells like nothing floral I've ever experienced. It arrived with a purchase of frankincense essential oil in a package that smelled so vile I had to banish it to the garage. I thought there had to have been a leak, but the paper wrapper around the bottles was unstained. As for the smell, there is nothing sweet about it. I've cautiously sniffed both oils weeks later, but I can't abide either. I spent more than my budget really allows on these, so I can't imagine throwing them away, but I'm not letting them back in my house. Aromatics International makes much of their process, so I'm willing to accept the problem is with me and my olfactory system. But there's no way I'm ever buying anything from them online again.

Hi Smruti! We appreciate your feedback, and your order! Because all of our essential oils are 100% pure, they are extremely concentrated. While Ylang Ylang is a beautiful oil, a little goes a very long way. Generally only 1 or 2 drops is needed in a blend, otherwise it can be a little overpowering. We find that once it is diluted in a carrier, the aroma is much more mild. It also works well with Lavender which also helps tone it down slightly (:
United StatesThe best smelling ylang ylang

United StatesA must
I use this when I'm having panic attacks, i diffuse it and feel alot more calm.
United StatesScent is very delicate and faint. Not potent at all. I had to use a half a bottle for a 2 oz jar of body butter to try and get a hint of the scent. Will not purchase Ylang Ylang from this brand again but will continue my purchases with Patchulli instead of this brand.
