Description

Gamma Octalactone is a classic lactone aroma chemical with a soft, creamy and fruity odor profile. It offers peachy, coconut-like, milky and slightly buttery nuances, giving fragrance compositions a smooth and rounded character. Its lactonic quality makes it especially useful for creating creamy fruit effects and adding body to tropical and gourmand accords.

In perfumery, Gamma Octalactone is used in peach, coconut, tropical, fruity, creamy and gourmand compositions. It can enhance the ripe and juicy character of fruit accords while adding a soft creamy texture. It also works well as a bridge between bright fruity materials and richer vanilla, caramel and musk notes. When combined with other lactones, it can help create more realistic and complex peach, apricot and tropical-fruit effects.
