When I hear Sylvia and Conching Rosal sings, some tears automatically fall from my eyes as if they are juiced out with the feelings they put into their rendition of their songs. They're haunting...
apmech thanks for the upload. i wonder if you have "pakwan". i've been searching for this song but i cant find any. i believe it is in the same album with "kalesa" and "balot"
It grows in the southern east coast. I live in Savannah Georgia and I see these trees every now and then and it smells like Chanel in the summer time.
yep.. thanks! hehe the first time I saw a bottle of it it kinda took me awhile to read it.. then when I smelled it.. I was like Duh!! it's Ilang-Ilang.. lol
Thanks for your reponse and nice video.I might have smelled it once here in southern California: does it smells like jasmin with a hint of orange blosom with very light back notes of vanilla and pepper? the flowers were ivory color instead of yellow.
Anytime frecnhroast+. I just noticed that you are very detailed on describing flower scents and I'm not good on that. This flower has a very particular strong scent that you can tell right away there's some ilang-ilang in your room or you're standing next to the tree. As you can see in the video, mostly are green and become yellow when its older.
Maybe it also grows in south Cali for it's warmer there. But the ivory color flower might be the 'sampaguita' and the petals are really small compare to ilang-ilang.
i remember this song included in our elementary book! we were taught to sing it in a classroom activity...

Every Filipino should be proud of these classics.

Where does it grow?
frenchroastplus 4 years ago
Hi frenchroast+ ! It usually grows in some tropical countries of Asia. We used to have one in the backyard back in the Philippines.
