Ylang

Ylang was a type of blossoming plant that could be found in certain regions of Shou Lung.

Description
Blossoms of the ylang plant gave off a distinct and sickeningly sweet odor.

Uses
Although the process was known to only a few, ylang blossoms could be pressed into an oil, that could be used to formulate a potent and permanent variety of love potion. The trick to this use was in the oil's potency, which was ensured by picking blossoms in the morning, rather than later in the day.

Regardless of its potency, ylang oil could also be used to create a variety of balms and teas.
