How is this ylang ylang oil used in perfumery and fragrance?
In perfumery, this ylang ylang oil is a classic heart-note material — its opulent, honeyed, exotic floral character adds depth, sensuality and tenacity to floral, oriental, chypre and amber compositions.
Perfumery Use
| Role | Character |
|---|---|
| Heart note | Rich, honeyed, exotic floral (jasmine-neroli accord) |
| Top note | In Extra grade — bright floral-fruity lift |
| Base note | Tenacious balsamic-woody drydown |
| Functional | Sensuality, body and longevity in compounds |
- Typical use: 1-10% of the fragrance compound depending on the olfactive target
- Blends beautifully with jasmine, rose, neroli, vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli, bergamot and spices
- The Complete grade is the perfumer's classic "balanced ylang"; Extra is brighter for top-note work; 3rd grade is a cost-effective base enhancer
- Extremely tenacious — it carries and anchors floral and oriental bases
- Consider the IFRA/EU allergen and methyl eugenol restrictions when setting the compound level
- For fine fragrance, note the low yield — this is a premium natural material
