Cananga Essential Oil presents a fresh floral profile with light sweetness, green-herbal facets, and a gently spicy undertone. Compared to ylang ylang, it is less creamy and less dense, with more lift and transparency. The floral character feels open and relaxed rather than heady, making it easier to use at higher levels without overwhelming a blend.

Cananga functions primarily as a heart note, contributing floral softness and natural warmth.

Recommended concentration:
Fine fragrance: 0.5-5%

It provides floral body without heaviness and helps soften sharper notes.
