- Ylang ylang is potent — a little goes far; start low and build by nose
- The scent is very tenacious, so lower levels often perform better in blends
- Always dilute in leave-on skincare; never apply undiluted to skin
- Patch test on a small skin area before first cosmetic use
- Adjust dosing by your finished-product safety assessment, not just by aroma
