The mild, yet magical, aroma of Cananga Essential Oil comes from the Cananga flower, frequently confused for its well-known twin, Ylang Ylang. Indeed, the mistake is understandable, as these two essential oils come from different subspecies of the same tree. Both are from the species Cananga Odorata, but Ylang Ylang comes from the Genuina variety, while Cananga comes from the Macrophylla variety.

CANANGA AND ITS TWIN
Imagine walking through an orchard of fragrant blooming trees – any artist or poet’s delight! As yellow flowers catch the breeze and spiral playfully to the ground like dancing stars, feelings of innocence and nostalgia envelope you. Suddenly, you notice a pair of mischievous twin children running ahead of you, inviting you to catch one or the other (and delighting in the fact that you struggle to tell them apart, because they love to play).
Cananga’s floral scent is joyful and sweet like Ylang Ylang, but its full bouquet includes green and woody aromas that make this essential oil a well-kept secret in the aromatherapy world. The aromatic balance of Cananga makes it wonderful for blending – a great addition to both women’s perfume and men’s cologne. Truly an androgynous sensual delicacy, it is also a perfect alternative for those who find the fragrance of Ylang Ylang to be too overpowering. The unique nuances of Cananga are easy to fall in love with, and once you become acquainted with its delicate aroma, you won’t likely fall prey to these “twins’” playful tricks again.
