Description

Dihydro Coumarin is a sweet, warm and creamy aroma chemical with a soft coumarin-like character. Its odor profile combines powdery, vanilla-like and almond nuances with gentle balsamic and hay-like facets. Compared with Coumarin, it offers a smoother and creamier interpretation, making it useful for adding softness and warmth to fragrance compositions.

In perfumery, Dihydro Coumarin is used to enrich gourmand, oriental, amber, fougère and sweet floral accords. It can provide warmth and body to the heart and base while helping create a rounded, comforting character. Its creamy sweetness works particularly well with vanilla, tonka, balsamic, woody and powdery materials. It can also be used as a supporting ingredient in floral compositions where a soft, sweet background is desired.
