Description
The cananga tree is native to tropical Asia and a member of the sugar apple family. Traditionally used in Ayurvedic health practices, Indonesians place cananga flowers on honeymooners’ pillows to guarantee a happy life. Extracted by steam distillation, Cananga essential oil comes from its vibrant yellow flowers. A very similar variety of the Cananga tree provides ylang ylang oil, although Cananga has higher amounts of β-Caryophyllene.
