What is the most exclusive perfume tree in the world?

This one is a major contender ...the World famous Cananga odorata is the true Chanel No.5 Perfume Tree

It's common name is Ylang-Ylang, often pronounced (ee-lang ee-lang) and is probably the most celebrated flowering perfume tree in the world

Made world famous by Coco Chanel who in 1923 said upon introducing Chanel No.5 perfume in Paris,

"I wanted a perfume that is composed - not hints of roses or lilies of the valley.  A woman's perfume - redolent, evocative of a woman.  A perfume unlike any other ever made.  The ideal scent of a woman."

So ...is Ylang-Ylang like Chanel No.5 ?

...or is Chanel No.5 perfume like the scent of this tree?

Except for the alcohol and added power of its oils, the perfume smell to your nose is nearly identical to the tree. These world famous blossoms are now used in many other expensive perfumes as well

Ylang-Ylang blooms when very young, often the 2nd or 3rd year

Ylang-Ylang flowers are carried in mass clusters at the end of its elegant drooping branches

Each flower is a beautiful five-point star which begins as white, then green, then turning a rich, golden yellow as the blossoms mature

This tree blooms with tropical abandon

We have observed Ylang-Ylang specimens bloom a minimum of two times a year - typically in June / July / August and also near December.  Mature specimens are known to bloom almost continuously all year long

Suited for zone 10 and warm parts of zone 9, this is an extremely rare and delightful tree to own.  With a greenhouse or good window lighting and warmth, you may even try Ylang-Ylang indoors in pots

Ylang-Ylang grows with no particular requirements of soil, water or food. Normal moderate care after establishment is all that is needed

In spite of all these exciting features, Ylang-Ylang is rarely seen in South Florida and very difficult and expensive to buy. Many of the ones we are aware of in Broward County, we planted in our landscape work
