Fun Fact:

The Ylang Ylang plant is also called the perfume tree, due to its highly fragrant flowers.

Plant Description

The Ylang Ylang, or Cananga odorata, is a plant characterized by its drooping branches and bright green leaves. Along the green stems of this plant grow stalks from which multiple yellow-green flowers bloom. These flowers dangle from the stalks and are highly fragrant. The pungent flowers also produce green fruits that grow in clusters and turn black when ripe.2 doTERRA Ylang Ylang essential oil is extracted from the flower of the Ylang Ylang plant.

Chemistry of Ylang Ylang

Main Chemical Components: Germacrene, caryophyllene

Two of the main chemical constituents of Ylang Ylang essential oil are caryophyllene and germacrene. These two chemical components are part of the sesquiterpenes group. Ylang Ylang’s unique chemistry and scent promote soothing feelings when used aromatically. A recent study conducted by multiple Korean universities found that caryophyllene helps support healthy cell growth when ingested orally.*3 To learn more about the chemical components of Ylang Ylang oil or other essential oils, visit the doTERRA Science Blog.
