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.
