Product Description

Cananga is an exotic and sultry essential oil with a warm, sweet, floral aroma. Even though it is a relative of Ylang Ylang, this floral has a softer, more subtle scent that is fantastic for perfumery. Use this essential oil to help promote calmness, soothe nervousness and create a relaxing environment. Cananga is also great for helping alleviate sore muscles and joints as well as supporting healing for small scrapes and bruises.

Reviews

Great fragrance

"Took a chance and tried something new and I love it. Have only diffused it and it has a wonderful fragrance."

— Carol (5/5)

Cananga Essential Oil

"Cananga is a lovely floral oil!!!! A drop or two goes a long way!!! (Especially in a diffuser blend, I get a headache if I do more than 2 drops; in case that's a helpful tip for anyone!) I enjoy using Cananga in DIY perfume recipes too!! For those wondering, I would personally purchase both Cananga and Ylang-ylang to see which scent you like better! I know they have different therapeutic properties, so doing your own research would be helpful too!! I like both Cananga & Ylang-ylang and personally just use whatever I have on hand."

— Meghan D. (5/5)

Calming & Sweet

"Cananga is a sweet floral scent and also calming and relaxing so I diffuse it often. Can’t go wrong if you like floral sweetness!"

— Donna B. (5/5)

Energizing and relaxing scent

"This reminds me of the Ylang-ylang scent, but is a little milder. I find them to be great pick-me-uppers and enjoy a few drops in our diffuser."

— JB (5/5)

Deep Perfumery

"I was so pleased that I took a chance on an unknown EO! This has lovely depth and begs for creative blending. I’m excited to try a few things."

— Anne B. (5/5)

Seems good

"I haven't actually used this oil yet, but it sounds good. Looking forward to trying it."

— Judi G. (5/5)

Smell

"This smells great, I haven’t tried, only opened the bottle to smell the scent."

— Maria P. (5/5)

I used to love ylang

"I used to love ylang ylang but found the smell is too strong even just a little dab. I'm so glad I tried Cananga EO at Plant Therapy! The scent is a lot less intense than Ylang Ylang. Cananga gives a calming floral feeling with just enough sweetness. It was an instant mood booster/sense of peace with it. The scent of this oil is not overpowering so I think it's a good substitute if you don't like Ylang ylang. Definitely a favorite and can’t wait to find other uses and recipes for skin care and diffuser."
