Ylang Ylang connects women to the joyful expression of their inner maiden. Men are brought back to their youth, moving boldly into the world, connected with the Fool archetype - jovial, fun-loving, dream chasing, with reckless abandon. Ylang Ylang brings out your inner child, sparking an innocent curiosity, one where you're in the present moment chasing the butterfly down the garden path of life towards the next dazzling thing, the next miracle, the next prayer being answered.
