Physical properties
The color of the oils ranges from light amber to yellow-brown. The Extra exhibits the deepest
color, probably because of phenolic substances. It should be noted that as the distillation proceeds, the specific gravity and the ester
content of these fractions decrease, whereas the optical rotation and the refractive index increase. The Extra fraction exhibits the
highest specific gravity and ester number, and the lowest optical rotation and refractive index, whereas the third fraction has the lowest
specific gravity and ester number and the highest optical rotation and refractive index. Thus, the quality of the various fractions
can be simply determined from their physicochemical properties. The Extra and first fractions possess the strongest and finest odor
because they contain the highest percentage of esters, ethers and phenols. The last fractions consist chiefly of sesquiterpenes and,
therefore, have little odor value.

Uses
Perfumery Ylang-ylang oil is a fragrance for use in various perfumed products; useful in soap perfumes and general perfumery as a floral additive of extremely
versatile application; blends with almost any other floral natural or synthetic material and gives good effects in a concentration of 0.5%
up to about 5% of the perfume base; some perfumery uses (candy; modifier and fixer in floral; ylang; Hyacinth jacinthe; Muguet Lily Of
The Valley; lily; camation Dianthus oeillet; Narcissus narcisse).
