actually ylang ylang (and other strong floral essential oils) will probably make a headache and/or migraine worse.
but lavender is very beneficial. its not just the scent that promotes relaxation but the chemicals that make it up are natural pain relievers along with several other things (skin care, acne, burns, rashes, soothes muscle aches and pains, helps digestion etc..) you can apply lavender oil, straight from the bottle to your skin (temples, back of neck) and it will be more beneficial
frankincense might also help (but do not apply to the skin, only use in the diffuser) and most citrus oils work well too, (lime, lemon, neroli, tangerine, grapefruit….but only use in the diffuser)

I would suggest that any strong scent would likely make your migraine worse. Come to think of it, so does the light bulb. Caffeine often helps, as does sleeping.
