Pure Essential Oil | Cananga odorata var. macrophylla

Cananga Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil obtained from the flowers of Cananga odorata var. macrophylla. Closely related to ylang ylang but more herbal and airy, it offers a softer, greener floral profile.

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%

Particularly effective in:
Floral bouquets, green-floral compositions, tropical and botanical styles

Blends well with:
Citrus notes (bergamot, sweet orange, lime)
Jasmine, rose, and ylang ylang materials
Spices and soft woods for structure
Musks and light resins for balance

Suitable for non-perfumery applications such as soaps, body products, candles, and home fragrance

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

The first rule of perfumery: never work neat.

Every professional perfumer works in dilution. It's not a beginner shortcut, it's the correct way to evaluate and blend aromatic materials. At full concentration, materials smell harsh, inaccurate, and often overwhelming. You're not smelling the material, you're smelling too much of it.

When you dilute a 5ml aromatic material to a 10% solution, you extend it to 50ml of working stock. That's five times the material to experiment with, evaluate, and blend, without wasting a drop of something precious and expensive.

For powder materials like ambroxan, calone, and vanillin, dilution isn't optional, it's essential. Powders need to be fully dissolved in ethanol before they can be accurately measured, evaluated, or incorporated into a formula. Without this step, you simply can't work with them properly.
