Perfume in a pot: exotic Dwarf Chanel No 5 Tree. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

Cananga fruticosa - Dwarf Ylang-Ylang Tree, Chanel No 5 Tree

✨ Perfume in a pot: exotic Dwarf Chanel No 5 Tree
  • ⭐️ The Chanel No. 5 tree in a pot? Yep.

    • Cananga fruticosa - Dwarf Ylang-Ylang Tree, is the compact cousin of the famous perfume tree. It has the same elegant, drooping flowers that smell like the original Ylang-Ylang - the scent behind Chanel No. 5 - just in a smaller, easy-to-grow version.
  • ⭐️ It stays nicely shaped like a little tree, blooms year-round in warm weather, and does great in a container. Just give it bright light, and if the air is humid, you'll get that dreamy fragrance in full force.
  • ⭐️ A perfect plant for anyone who wants their space to smell amazing - naturally.
