Cananga Odorata Oil/Extract

Cananga Odorata Oil/Extract (CAS 8006-81-3) is one of the fragrance allergens the European Union requires to be named on a label once it passes a threshold. It is rarely something you added on purpose: 1 material in this catalog carries it as a constituent, which is how a formula ends up over the line without a single line item admitting to it.

What Cananga Odorata Oil/Extract smells like

The whole, undivided distillation of ylang ylang: rich, sweet and heady, jasmine- and neroli-like, with carnation spice. Keeping the heavier fractions makes it creamier and woodier in the dry-down than Extra, and softer at the top.

It is a material in its own right, not only a line on a label: its catalog page carries the full profile.

Estimates from typical published compositions, not a certificate of analysis for your bottle. A supplier's own figures always win.

PerfuMate totals these across a whole formula while you compose, counting the same molecule arriving from several materials at once, and writes the declaration for the back of the bottle. Start a formula, free. No account needed.
