cananga fragrance

Cananga fragrance is a floral aromatic compound commonly used in the formulation of fragranced products. It is characterized by a distinctive scent profile reminiscent of ylang ylang, jasmin, lilac, and violet notes, contributing soft, floral nuances to fragrances. This compound is known for its alcohol solubility while being insoluble in water, which influences its incorporation into various perfumery bases and cosmetic products. Also referred to simply as 'cananga,' this material is derived from or inspired by natural extracts of the Cananga tree family. For detailed chemical information, it is linked with public resources such as PubChem where additional physicochemical data can be found. Its floral complexity makes it valuable for blending in high-quality fragrance formulations.

Cananga fragrance occurs naturally in the essential oils extracted from Cananga odorata flowers, prominent in tropical regions. Its odor profile is widely utilized for its resemblance to ylang ylang, jasmine, violet, and lilac, making it suitable for fragranced products spanning perfumes, personal care items, and household scents. The substance is integrated into various product types to add depth and complexity to floral fragrance accords. Regulatory standards such as FEMA (US) guide its usage levels and safety in fragrance applications. Cananga fragrance is employed strictly within the scope of fragrance ingredients and is not approved for flavor use.

Cananga fragrance exhibits solubility in alcohol solvents, facilitating its blending into ethanol-based perfume carriers and other alcohol-containing products. Its insolubility in water requires formulators to consider solvent selection carefully to maintain homogeneity and stability in emulsions or aqueous bases. The compound's floral odor intensity and profile are optimized in alcoholic solutions, affecting volatility and perception. The molecular interaction with alcohol enhances scent release, providing a pronounced floral character familiar in natural flower extracts such as ylang ylang. These physicochemical traits influence both the formulation design and the sensory impact of the finished product.
