Perfume NoteBase
Ylang Ylang essential oil has an attractive fragrance when used on its own - although if used too strongly the perfume can be overbearing and may occasionally cause headaches in a small percentage of people. Always use well diluted in one of Amphora's wide range of Carrier Oils or Base Preparations for skin application (to a maximum of 1%).
Ylang Ylang is useful for application in stressful situations and in general skin care, particularly for oily skin. It's an appropriate oil to use in hair rinses thanks to it's excellent hair tonic properties. Historically it has also been used for its intrinsic aphrodisiac properties. A few drops in one of our wide range of vaporisers or burners and some romantic candlelight will get you and your partner in just the right mood...
How to use:
To diffuse in a traditional burner, simply fill dish with water and add a few drops of oil on top before lighting the candle. For electrical fragrancers, follow instructions given by the manual. For massage: dilute in a carrier oil and gently massage over the skin. Add a few drops to a handkerchief or inhale directly from the bottle if you are on the go. Dilute in distilled water and pour into spray bottle for an all-natural room fragrancer.
Add a few drops to a warm bath to help set the mood or relax after a stressful day. Enjoy a few drops added to a vaporiser to help calm the mind and ease away anxious thoughts. Add a few drops to your shampoo to help promote volume, shine and manageability of the hair. Dilute to a maximum of 1% in a base lotion or cream and use to help balance oily skin. Dilute to a maximum of 1% in a carrier oil for a relaxing and restoring massage.
