Oil of Lilac
can be made at slight cost from the flowers, as the raw material is obtainable without much trouble; it forms a yellow, strong-scented oil. In perfumery, however, use is generally made only of the pomade made from the fresh flowers or the alcoholic extract prepared from it. Or else the odor is imitated by means of terpineol, which is now on the market under the name of lilacin.
