CAS: 104-50-7



Gamma Octalactone is best known for its sweet, creamy, coconut-like aroma, with a subtle herbaceous undertone. Its warm and rich character makes it an essential addition to gourmand, tropical, and creamy accords. Though sometimes compared to coumarin for its lactonic sweetness, gamma octalactone leans more toward a tropical creaminess reminiscent of coconut and tonka. Gamma Octalactone adds lactonic warmth to fig accords, complementing Stemone’s green, woody fig leaf notes. Together, they balance ripe fig sweetness with crisp, leafy freshness for a natural profile. — Fraterworks
