The oil is often used in aromatherapy. Some believe it possesses seductive and romantic properties. Ylang-ylang oil is widely used in perfumery to create oriental or floral fragrances due to its floral and fruity notes. Native to the Philippines, Borneo, and the Maluku Islands, ylang-ylang is now widely distributed throughout the Indian Ocean. The main producing countries are Mayotte, Nossi Be (Madagascar), and the Comoros. To simplify the harvesting process, the ylang-ylang tree is grown at a height of two to three meters, with prepared branches that hang like those of a weeping willow. Ylang-ylang flowers are highly sought after in perfumery. As the golden-yellow flowers mature, the bases of their petals turn red. Harvesting occurs year-round, as the ylang-ylang tree blooms continuously, although the flowers are most abundant in summer, from November to March. They are harvested at dawn, when the aromatic qualities reach their peak. Ylang-ylang essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the flowers.
