Is ylang ylang oil available year-round, or does supply fluctuate seasonally?
Ylang ylang oil is available year-round. The tree flowers almost continuously in the tropics, and distillation campaigns plus buffer stock keep supply steady through minor seasonal variations.
Seasonal Supply Outlook
| Season | Supply situation |
|---|---|
| Peak flowering | Higher fresh-flower yield, more active distillation campaigns |
| Flowering lull | Harvest slows slightly; stock covers demand |
| Cyclone season (Indian Ocean) | Possible temporary tightness and price firmness |
- Ylang ylang flowers nearly year-round; peak flowering periods vary by region (Madagascar, Comoros, Indonesia)
- Buffer stock at origin ensures continuity between harvest peaks
- Cool, dark storage preserves quality for the full 36-month shelf life
- For annual programs, we recommend reserving allocation ahead of major demand peaks
- Ask for a seasonal availability calendar when planning large orders
