Cananga - 10ml

Cananga, derived from the delicate flowers of the Cananga odorata var. macrophylla tree, is a rich, floral oil closely related to the more commonly known Ylang Ylang. Native to Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia, Cananga offers a softer, less heady scent than Ylang Ylang, with warm, slightly woody and fruity undertones that make it both comforting and sensual.

Renowned for its calming and balancing effects on the nervous system, Cananga Essential Oil helps reduce stress, anxiety, and nervous tension. It’s often used in aromatherapy to uplift the mood, promote emotional harmony, and support restful sleep. Cananga is also known for its aphrodisiac qualities and can enhance sensual blends.

In skin and hair care, Cananga offers antiseptic and anti-inflammatory benefits. It’s a great addition to products for oily skin or scalp conditions, helping to balance sebum production while leaving a pleasant, floral aroma.

With its exotic, grounding aroma, Cananga blends well with both floral and woody oils, making it a unique and versatile addition to natural perfumery and holistic wellness routines.
