Ylang Ylang
Sacral · Swadhisthana · 417 Hz
Let the heart loosen. Let the breath open.
The most flower-of-flowers in our range — Ylang Ylang means exactly that in Tagalog. Organic Cananga odorata, steam-distilled from the night-blooming flowers of Madagascar, where each bloom is hand-picked at dawn to capture its fullest oil. Sacral chakra at 417 Hz, the seat of sensuality and emotion. A little goes a long way — let the scent unfurl rather than crowd.
