Ylang-Ylang III: After Ylang-Ylang Extra essential oil is collected, the distillation process continues. After a specific period of time, the distillation process is stopped and the resulting oil is then again collected. That oil is then referred to as Ylang-Ylang I essential oil. The process repeats, resulting in Ylang-Ylang II and Ylang-Ylang III. The duration between distillations can vary between distillers. The distillations are generally referred to as fractions and are typically used within fragrance and perfumery applications.

Ylang-Ylang complete oil is the product of the plant that was distilled for the full allotted time, whereas other versions are distilled for a less amount of time. Ylang-Ylang III is usually used in perfumery and cosmetics as it consists of a more floral scent, as opposed to the muskier version that comes with Ylang-Ylang Complete.
