The ylang-ylang tree is a tropical tree native to India.  It is prized for it's fragrant, pink, mauve and yellow flowers.  It is from these aromatic flowers that ylang-ylang oil is distilled. Ylang-ylang oil can be used to create a calming atmosphere and blends really well with citrus oils as they help to tone down the overwhelming sweetness of the ylang-ylang oil.  

Ylang-ylang is one of the most affordable of all the floral oils and is often used as a substitute for expensive jasmine oil.  It is a very useful fragrance in perfumes, colognes, skin care products, cosmetics and soaps.
