Lisylang (Ylang-Ylang)

Lisylang is a unique and refined fragrance note derived from ylang-ylang, known for its lush, floral, and slightly fruity aroma with creamy and exotic undertones. It offers a rich, velvety scent that evokes the essence of tropical gardens and adds depth and elegance to perfumes. Lisylang is typically used as a heart note, imparting a luxurious and sensual quality to compositions. It blends beautifully with other white florals, citrus, and woody notes, contributing to sophisticated and complex fragrances.

History & Production: Ylang-ylang (Cananga odorata) is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, the Philippines, and Madagascar. Lisylang represents a more refined and purified version of traditional ylang-ylang extracts, offering a balanced scent that emphasizes its floral and exotic qualities. The essential oil is typically obtained through steam distillation of the star-shaped yellow flowers, with fractions taken at different stages of distillation to create various grades of ylang-ylang oil. Lisylang provides a more nuanced, less heady version of ylang-ylang, making it a popular choice for high-end and complex fragrance compositions that seek to balance opulence with subtlety.
