Historic centre for ylang-ylang distillation, where fractional grading originated.
Ylang-ylang from the Comoros is distilled in fractions — Extra, First, Second, Third — taken sequentially from a single distillation run. The Extra fraction, collected first, carries the most volatile and most prized top notes. This fractional system is the reason a single botanical yields materials with markedly different olfactive and commercial value.
