Description

Gamma Hexalactone is a lactone aroma chemical with a soft, creamy and fruity odor character. It offers delicate peachy, coconut-like, milky and slightly buttery nuances, giving fragrance compositions a smooth and rounded quality. Its lactonic character makes it useful for adding creaminess and naturalistic texture to fruity and tropical accords.

In perfumery, Gamma Hexalactone can be used in fruity, peach, coconut, tropical, creamy and gourmand compositions. It can soften sharper fruit materials and help create a smooth transition between fresh fruity notes and sweeter heart or base materials. It is also useful for enhancing creamy effects in vanilla and gourmand fragrances. Compared with stronger lactones, it can provide a more delicate creamy-fruity nuance that works well as part of a layered accord.
