About this composition

This profile uses Eden Botanicals' batch-specific COA for Ylang Ylang Extra lot 19, an early fraction from Comoros. Relative to later grades, Extra is richer in bright floral esters and aromatic constituents such as benzyl acetate, p-methyl anisole, and methyl benzoate while still carrying sesquiterpenes such as germacrene D and alpha-farnesene. This pass added 40 further constituent rows directly transcribed from the same COA's full component table (methyl benzoate through ethyl alcohol) to raise mass-balance closure toward the COA's own reported component list.

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

Odor intensity 88 is a normalization of Eden Botanicals' qualitative description of the Extra fraction as intensely sweet, highly floral, and bright rather than a published instrument score.
No public source reviewed in this pass provided a verified volatility-rate or tenacity-hours measurement for this grade.
Mass-balance closure (sum of pct_typical) is approximately 0.935 (93.51%) after adding all 40 corpus-matchable named peaks from the Eden Botanicals lot 19 COA. The COA table lists roughly 24 additional minor named components (e.g. prenyl acetate 1.57%, prenyl benzoate 0.83%, isopentenyl acetate 0.68%, hexyl acetate 0.19%, para-cresyl acetate 0.14%, cis-3-hexenyl acetate 0.11%, beta-copaene 0.12%, phenylethyl acetate 0.09%, phenol 4-ethenyl-2-methoxy 0.09%, para-cresol 0.06%, delta-elemene 0.06%, alpha-cadinene 0.06%, isoeugenol dehydrodimer 0.06%, methyl-2-butenol-3-ol-2 0.05%, benzyl butyrate 0.05%, cis-3-hexenyl benzoate 0.04%, calamenene 0.03%, cinnamyl benzoate 0.03%, prenyl alcohol 0.02%, veratrole 0.02%, ylangene 0.02%, benzyl cinnamate 0.02%, butyl acetate 0.01%, isoamyl acetate 0.01%) that were not added because no matching constituent_id exists yet in this corpus; adding them would raise closure to approximately 0.978 but was withheld to avoid inventing new constituent rows outside this task's scope.
