Yeah, it took me forever to figure out that medicinal or liquid paraffin is simply mineral oil.

I get my kenanga oil (aka cananga odorata macrophylla) from Liberty Natural (libertynatural.com) (they list it as cananga indonesia) I also get my sandalwood oil from there too. Because both are concentrated essential oils, I just drop some of each into the mineral oil and I'm good to go (actually any more I just use the sandalwood oil).

FYI, here's a summation of what my research indicated about the difference between ylang ylang and kenanga oil:

"Do not confuse [ylang ylang (Cananga odorata)] with Cananga oil, a more medicinal & less florally odoured oil, which is produced in Java from Cananga odorata subsp macrophylla." http://www.holisticaroma.co.uk/articles/ylang_ylang.php

Cheers,
Joel
