What factors influence the price of this ylang ylang oil?
Ylang ylang oil prices move with harvest volumes in Madagascar and the Comoros, grade mix, labor costs and global perfumery demand. Understanding the drivers helps you time purchases and stabilize cost.
Price Drivers
| Factor | Impact |
|---|---|
| Madagascar/Comoros harvest | Dominant supply; cyclone seasons or labor shortages tighten supply |
| Grade mix | Extra grade commands a premium; 3rd grade is the value end |
| Flower yield | Very low (1-2%) — labor-intensive hand picking drives cost |
| Organic certification | Certified lots carry a significant premium |
| Perfumery demand | Luxury fragrance and aromatherapy trends move the market |
| Packaging & volume | Bulk drums are far cheaper per kg than small retail packs |
