What a gorgeous flower!
Gorgeous flower gorgeous scent. I don’t think I’ve met anyone who doesn’t like this oil and even though it’s a floral, men still love it because of it’s very deep basey scent. Of course I’m generalising but I want you to know that men can love floral oils and women can love herbs and woods, and vice versa. If you want to get your partner in the mood for some loving (whether male or female), then choose this amazing oil.
For more specifics on this beautiful plant and oil check out my previous article here. For now let’s get into it!

Hi Suzanne,
What a pleasure & a relief to read your post this morning. I’m packing to leave LA & head back to Santa Fe. I was feeling very frustrated that I had not accomplished all.
I added together ‘Release Frustration’ & ‘Not a Care in the World’. Feeling much better & getting on with it.
Look forward to ‘Nourish & Repair’ back in the mountains. €8^)
Yay! Santa Fe sounds amazing looking – especially with a little snow on the mountains too. x
Hi Suzanne,
Just wanted to let you know that I’ve left a couple of comments in the last month, but they don’t seem to have been saved to the site. Will check back to see if this one sticks.
(Sympathies. I’m having lots of tech stuff here.)
Jackie
Hmmm ok thanks Jackie I’ll check it out. Unless I’ve deleted them by mistake???
Yay! We’re in touch.
Just a note to say I love the Ylang blends & have shared them with several friends.
May 7: we had a little surprise snow today. I dipped into the spices.

Ok fab! Thanks for sharing the blends and great idea using the spices to warm you up x
Hello, love your post. Very useful! I have a question. I have vetiver and ylang ylang oils at home and need a third oil to add to them. Could you please suggest something sweet for me?
Hi Megirl my first feeling is orange oil. Sweet and light, it goes well with both oils. Use more orange, way less ylang ylang and only a drop or two of vetiver. Blends often take a while to come together and will smell different a week down the track. Thanks for commenting and good luck!
Interesting. I was just wondering if Frankincense and Ylang Ylang would be a good mix so ended up here. Frustration release? Boy, do I need that! Thanks a bunch. Going to try that right away.
Great Karen. Basically my rule is anything goes with anything. Sometimes it means guy be the case you need to adjust the ratios but don’t be afraid to chuck them all together and see what happens . Good luck!
