Hi Ruthie H. It's the oil that is extracted first. It's the most purest/organic/potent so to speak during the extracting process. Ylang-ylang is extracted in 3 phases I believe which consists of Ylang-ylang Extra in phase one. Ylang-ylang ll, then ylang-ylang lll. Think of it in terms of Extra Virgin olive oil. Hope this helps.

Now Solutions Ylang Ylang Oil, 1 Oz.

Q: Someone mentioned the scent is reminiscent of licorice,- is it really so ? (I dislike licorice). Thanks

Not licorice so much, but it is a strongly scented oil. If you are using ylang-ylang for its properties, you can't really worry about the scent. It works well with pulling debris from the pores. I combine it with clary sage in cold process soap for a good complexion bar. Clary sage helps combat fungus and yeast, which is the cause of a lot of acne.

Q: Can anyone please give me an idea of what Ylang Ylang smells like? Is it like a white flower, woodsy, citrus, etc,....and is it more of a masculine fragrance or feminine? Any extensive descriptions would be greatly appreciated!~ thanks!

Wow, these answers were very helpful, weren't they? Someone said Ylang Ylang smells like over-ripe bananas. Ridiculous. Someone else said it has a citrus-like smell. Wrong. Another described it as smelling like licorice. Uh, no. Someone else said the smell was sort of like gardenia, which is at least in the ball park. Since this question was posted in 2013, I suppose the person who asked might possibly be dead by now, but hopefully this will be helpful to someone. I find Ylang Ylang to be almost floral neutral, you don't actually think "flower" when you smell it, but its definitely closer to a flower than grass. It's actually somewhat cologne-like, easy to use in formulas designed for men, and is considered gender neutral, unlike Jasmine, which is strongly feminine. No one can really explain a fragrance, you have to experience it for yourself. Ylang Ylang is unique, not unlike Lotus, though quite a bit sweeter.

Q: can you use this in the diffuser?

Hi there. Yes you can. I love the smell. It's a soft light scented oil. If you are looking for a strong scent for your diffuser like eucalyptus...this is not the oil for you.
