The distillation is fractional. This results in several qualities (Extra Superior, I, II and III) of the oil, depending on how long it is distilled. Accordingly, Extra is yellowish-oily with a sweet-floral scent, while III is a yellow oil with a sweet-floral wood scent. The main commercial production site is in Madagascar and the Comoros and only the varieties growing there are used.

composition

The more intense fragrances in the first fractions are p-cresyl methyl ether (5–16%), methyl benzoate (4–9%), (-) - linalool (7–24%), benzyl acetate (5.5–17.5%) and Geranyl acetate (2.5-14%). The ingredients contained to a higher degree in the inferior fractions are sesquiterpenes such as caryophyllene , germacrene-D and ( E , E ) -α- farneses (up to 70% in total in III).
