Cananga odorata (distillation complète)
8-15€ / 10ml

Complete ylang-ylang is the result of a 20-hour distillation of Cananga odorata flowers. Unlike ylang-ylang Extra (first fraction, the finest and most expensive, reserved for perfumery), the complete version contains ALL fractions -- from top notes to base notes. It is the version most used in aromatherapy because it is more balanced and less expensive.
Complete ylang-ylang is richer in sesquiterpenes (germacrene-D, caryophyllene) than the Extra, which gives it more therapeutic properties (antispasmodic, hypotensive). The Extra is more floral and 'sophisticated' but less therapeutic.

Ylang-ylang distillation produces fractions: extra (first 1-2h, the finest), I, II, III, and complete (all fractions combined). The extra is richer in esters (more floral), the complete is more balanced and affordable. For aromatherapy, the complete is generally sufficient.
Yes, like ylang-ylang extra, the complete version has a hypotensive effect. It slows heart rate and promotes relaxation. 1-2 drops diluted on the solar plexus or wrists. A more affordable option than the extra for daily use.
Excellent for hair. The complete version is even more suitable than the extra because it is richer in sesquiterpenes (nourishing). 3 drops in coconut oil as a hair mask before shampoo. Makes hair shiny and strengthened.
