My original review is below, but I don't want to lead with a negative, since what's really important is how this seller made things right. A couple days after I posted my review and wrote off ever using ylang ylang oil (or buying anything else from this seller) again, one of their reps left a really nice voice mail message expressing concern that they may have shipped out a bad batch and promised to fix it. Without hesitation, and on their own perogative, they express-shipped me another bottle of the ylang ylang EO, along with a couple of extra droppers to address the drippy situation with the last bottle.
The bottle was sealed, showed no leaks and did not have that strong odor right out of the package like the original bottle did. I sniff tested both of them. Now THIS bottle of oil was much better! Both my husband and I compared the old bottle (shown in the left in the picture with a faint blue "O" drawn on the label) with the new and noticed immediately that the old one had the overpowering, industrial odor that the new one didn't. The new one was also powerful, but with that familiar sweet, floral, perfumey aroma instead. Slightly bitter, anise-like. I used the new oil in a bath bomb recipe tonight, and it came out really nice. I did not throw the bath bombs away like with the batches made with the old bottle and they are still sitting on my dining room table, behaving themselves (see pic). Now, I'm still not a fan of ylang ylang on its own (too flowery), but it seemed to smell like it was supposed to and blended well with the other scents I was using. Also, zero problems with the dropper on this one, so I doubt I'll need the extra droppers they sent me.
I gotta say that this company did everything it could to make things right, short of coming over and fixing me a home-cooked meal. For that alone, they should get 5 stars, but since this is a product review, I'm rating it on its own merits and would still give it 5 stars because of the strength and integrity of the oil (some people complained it was diluted. Um..what.) and the functionality of the bottle, which is about all I really care about.
Now I'm going to order another oil from these people (bergamot? rose? not sure yet), without the same reservations.
***ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW***
I really tried with this product, but it was just awful. I don't know if it's because I have an aversion to ylang ylang or if it's this particular version. It is extremely powerful. It has an overpowering aroma of alkaline (urine?) and burnt rubber or tar, with just a hint of sweet floral. A nightmare combination. I tried making bath bombs with this three times, each with successively reduced amounts. The first batch, 1/2 teaspoon diluted in 2 TB of oil to mix in with 1 pound of bath salts. It was so extremely retched that I threw the whole thing away. The next try, I reduced it to 10 drops ( I meant only 5, but I had no control over how much came out of the dropper...another issue). Still bad, and I threw away. The last batch, I used only TWO drops to 2 TB of oil. I let the finished product sit on the table, went to a movie to clear my nose and came home. It was still terrible, overpowering everything. In the trash it went. I'm giving it two stars because if you like this scent, you will definitely get your money's worth as it is highly concentrated, but not the full 5 stars because the dispenser is dysfunctional.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2016Scent: Ylang YlangSize: 0.33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI purchased this to use with some of my homemade soap. Different soap bases, fats, end up smelling a little bit different when essential oils are used. I decided to start with a smaller amount of oil with a small amount of soap. After the soap set, I cut it apart and smelled it. It was very subtle yet very pleasant. I increased the amount of oil for the next batch and it was much more pleasant. It did slightly change the color palate of my soap, but because I make natural soap and use natural soap dyes, I adjusted my colorants to make the soap the color I liked.
It was easy to pour, and the cap was welled secured. But it wasn't hard to open and the label is very clear and it is easy to read and I can tell which oil I have when I pick it up. The brown bottle keeps the ultra violet light out from the sun so the oil stays fresher longer. Over all I am pleased with this essential oil and the quality for soap making. Because of the saponification process, some soaps need a little more essential oils. It also arrived in a timely manner and was well packaged. This is a good quality product to use and most people that use essential oils for common uses will like it too, but that is my opinion. But I feel like you can't do wrong with price and quality.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2024Scent: Ylang YlangSize: 0.33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseYlang Ylang is one of my favorite fragrances. I don't know if it's just psychological, but the fragrance makes me feel well. I have used different brands and different essential oils. I prefer Healing Solutions.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2016Scent: Ylang YlangSize: 0.33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI have never smelled it when you're Ylang Ylang before purchasing this product, and they only came across it because so many people recommend it is an excellent sensual oil for its properties and it's addictive aroma. I am so glad that I found this and it should be purchasing a bigger bottle shortly. It smells like Hawaii, with the flower lays and papaya something else I can't quite describe. It is a very delicate, floral, gently sweet scent. I use this to make bath bombs and the scent is so lovely that I don't add anything else to it. 10 mL is definitely not enough as this scent is absolutely intoxicating. I was in Walmart the other day and saw this on the shelf and decided to buy a bottle to compare the quality. I have to say that this particular brand is way better than the essential oils sold in Walmart.
I think I received a discount on the purchase price of this item in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I honestly cannot remember if I get a discount on this one or not. All opinions are my own inner no influenced by any discounts I may receive.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024Scent: Ylang YlangSize: 0.33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI use this for my bath bombs and it smells really great.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2018Scent: Ylang YlangSize: 0.33 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI cannot recommend this Oil. It smelled terrible. I like the smell of ylang ylang. This is awful. My husband said it smelled like cat urine. And while I don’t think it smelled like cat urine, it does have an animal byproduct scent to it. It is not right. The smell actually makes me want to gag. The only positive thing I can say is that it came packaged appropriately. Some reviews suggest packaging was lacking. I did not have this issue. My problem is that it is stinky. I went to a local shop and purchased a different brand in this scent and it smells right. It reinforces to me that this one is not right. I’m assuming I cannot return it since it is opened. I’ll have to look into it. Otherwise, this was a waste of money.
*Update* I have changed my rating from a 1 star to 3 stars since original posting. The seller has reached out to me and has given me the option of a refund or replacement. They reached out to me and wanted to rectify this order. I feel that customer service has been outstanding. And while I was disappointed in the fragrance of the actual bottle I received, I am appreciative of the customer service I have received and wanted to share my experience.
