Ylang Ylang Shower Gel

The Scent: A bold exotic floral.......slightly spicy...and a staple in the perfumer's palette.

The Inspiration: The ylang-ylang tree grows in low-lying tropical areas of several countries stretching from India southwards and eastwards to the northern parts of Australia.

The Story: It is known by different names in different countries, however it is from the Tagalog language of the Philippines that the tree came to be known as ylang-ylang, or more correctly álang-álang, a Tagalog term meaning "flower of flowers". In Indonesia the flowers of ylang-ylang are traditionally used to decorate and perfume the nuptial bed. Ylang-ylang flowers infused in coconut oil were used as a pomade for the hair by people living on the Molucca Islands.
