[...] was basically like some sort of a saint for a scent she created Amber-Ylang-Ylang and I’m ylang-ylang mad. I sprinkle the real stuff everywhere and am convinced it’s enchanted. So I spotted this new [...]

Gorgeous images of tahiti – love the raw earthy image of people rolling up in a ute and rubbing it onto their bodies – delicious

have always loved ylang ylang, it is all slippery on your tongue just trying to pronounce it! but haven’t had any in the house for years – will put it on my list (along with bamboo sheets)

I damaged the rubber hoses of mine with essential oils – they perished suddenly so if you share a machine maybe add oil to some water if you start mixing it up and using some of the other oils that are corrosive – that’s not the right word but u know what I mean right? Also poss I went overboard there were no eyedroppers involved.

On a Saturday night in downtown Tahiti, the women pulled up to the trees with a ute,
climbed on the roof to pick Ylang Ylang from the trees. They grow quite high, then put
bunches of it behind their ears.
Totally exotic & erotique, the REAL THING, & not so powerful as the EO, but it says
‘follow me’.
The men picked bunches of Basil, rubbed the leaves all over their brown bodies,
or put bunches over the ears.
A few drops of Sandlewood or Patchouli balances the mix with YY.
Put a few drops of Patch under your lovers armpit & see how his natural aroma blends with your
wearing YY….yummy.

Unfortunately, I associate yy with funerals as my first exposure to it there, and very liberally I might add. Still it is a rich and haunting scent, very stalker inspiring.

Definitely up there with the favourites.. when I was young frankincense was burnt at home and is still my favourite, but when it comes to oil baths yy is my no. 1. hehe

Yum Mystic, I love this oil too, one of my fave’s.

How much do you add to the wash? And do you just dribble it into the water once its filled up?

I have those amazingly soft bamboo sheets you recommended (yes they are still silky and sleep is far more enjoyable than in my cotton carbdoard sheets:) Would like to get some organic flannel sheets for winter if anyone has any clues as to where to find?

cheers. x

[...] Mystic Medusa added an interesting post on Housewitchery 3: Ylang-YlangHere’s a small excerptBirds love Ylang-Ylang & so do I. Depending upon whom you ask, the name means Flower Of Flowers, Rare or Wilderness. In trad herb lore, it is a flower of Venus & the essential oil is officially recognised for langour & euphoria inducing qualities, along with the ability to help cure various ailments from motion sickness to high blood pressure. Margaret Mead noted that the South Pacific island dwellers used it liberally as an aphrodisiac, sprinkling it on beds & what-not. Person [...]
