Ylang-Ylang, complete

    The Canaga odorata genuina flowers are steam distilled in Madagascar, the Philippines and the isle of Reunion. Large yellow flowers picked in the early morning while the sun is high in the sky hold these sweet scented energies. This one flower is typically distilled in varying grades.The highest and truest version of this lovely flower is obtained  in the first hours of extraction and this is referred to as Ylang Ylang extra superior. The other grades in-between this first extraction and the Complete are not desirable to me. I stick with the extra superior and the complete which is one that I obtain from a distiller that does not divide during the distillation process.The complete version is less sweet and very rounded offering a more mellow nuance.
