Interesting Facts: Ylang Ylang Extra Essential
Oil is obtained through steam distillation of the flowers and separated into
different grades (extra; 1; 2; 3) according to when the distillates are
obtained. This is the first extraction and is more concentrated than
others! Ylang ylang essential oil makes up 29% of Comoros` annual export (1998).
A good example of the manipulation of essential oils can be seen with
Ylang Ylang essential oil.
Ylang Ylang essential oil
is generally sold in a number of grades – extra, first, second and third. Extra
is the most expensive and chemically can be judged by its ester content. This,
however, can be easily manipulated.
Basically the grades are arrived at by fractionating the distillation process.
The "extra" is derived from the oil being taken at a given time, say two hours
after the start; Nos 1, 2 and 3 following suit.
The aroma of
Ylang Ylang "extra" is
very powerful and is difficult to reproduce artificially. It is frequently
adulterated not only with Nos. 1, 2 and 3 but with other chemical components
such as Vanillin and Methyl Benzoate. There is no apparent definition for Ylang
1 and 2 and they are generally used in cutting other grades. Ylang 3 is
interesting because it is cheap and has a good tenacity and is usually used in
soap perfumery but is also frequently adulterated not only with chemicals but
also other materials such as Amyris,
Cedarwood and so on.
There is another type of Ylang Ylang called "complete" which should be the
result of an uninterrupted water and steam distillation of Ylang Ylang flowers;
like ours.
In reality complete may simply mean a mixture of the other varieties of Ylang
Ylang.
Other considerations with Ylang behind the scene would have been the type of flowers used, only the true yellow flowers give the desired result. Indiscriminate picking of immature blooms is not uncommon. Distillation should have been immediate to avoid fermentation and off notes. There is a difference between material distilled into hot water rather than heating from cold. The length of distillation is important, perhaps 20 hours or more. All this again will vary upon the type of still and process.
