What type of product is commonly obtained from Ylang Ylang?

Resin
Essential oil
Co2 extract
Infusion

The correct answer is: Essential oil

Ylang Ylang is a tropical tree known for its fragrant flowers, which are primarily harvested to produce essential oil. The process of creating Ylang Ylang essential oil involves steam distillation of the flowers, capturing the aromatic compounds that yield its distinctive sweet and floral scent. This essential oil is widely used in aromatherapy, perfumery, and skincare products due to its therapeutic properties, including stress relief and mood enhancement. While other products like CO2 extracts or infusions can be made from various plant materials, Ylang Ylang is particularly renowned and commercially valued for its essential oil. The resin option does not apply here, as Ylang Ylang does not produce resin in the way that other trees, like pines or frankincense trees, do. Thus, the prominent and recognized product obtained from Ylang Ylang is, indeed, essential oil.
