Description :
Octahydrocoumarin (CAS 4430-31-3), also known as bicyclononalactone, is a synthetic aroma chemical and fragrance ingredient valued for its creamy, woody sweet lactone fragrance. It offers a soft, milky, coconut-like aroma with coumarinic warmth and balsamic nuances, making it a popular fixative for perfume and a staple perfumery compound. Octahydrocoumarin is widely used in fragrance for candles, fine perfumes, and cosmetics, providing excellent longevity and smoothness to compositions. Available in fragrance grade form, this high-purity lactone fragrance is prized by octahydrocoumarin manufacturers and suppliers for its regulatory safety and versatile blending capacity.
For complementary aroma enhancements, related ingredients like Galaxolide, a soft musk, and Gamma-Nonalactone, a coconut and peach note, are frequently used alongside octahydrocoumarin in gourmand and floral fragrance compositions.
Octahydrocoumarin is a key ingredient in fragrance for candles and fine perfumery due to its soft and creamy lactone aroma profile. It is often incorporated in floral, oriental, amber, and gourmand accords, where it adds richness, warmth, and a smooth, long-lasting finish. This fixative for perfume enhances the tenacity and overall balance of complex fragrance blends.
Used as a fragrance ingredient and cosmetic chemical, octahydrocoumarin is found in lotions, shampoos, deodorants, and body care products. Its creamy, coconut-like scent and mild coumarinic character delicately elevate the sensory appeal of personal care formulations.
This lactone fragrance acts as a synthetic fragrance compound and aroma chemical with excellent stability and compatibility across different bases — including alcohols and oils. It functions as a fixative and a texture modulator, smoothing and extending the life of floral and gourmand notes.
Blending partners such as Benzyl Salicylate, Vanillin, and Methyl Anthranilate complement octahydrocoumarin by bridging floral, sweet, and powdery facets together.
