Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
Bicyclononalactone is a creamy and sweet lactone but with a distinctly tonka and
hay character. Its has a subtle earthiness that makes it far more interesting
than many of the other lactones that tend to be variations on a theme of coconut
or peach.
Use it as an interesting alternative to Coumarin in a classic fougère and as a
replacer for Dihydrocoumarin which is prohibited in many places except when
naturally occurring in plant extracts.
Bicyclononalactone is used to great effect in such scents as Ambre Narguile
(2004) by Hermès where it is found at an enormous 4% and Grand Soir (2016) of
Maison Francis Kurkdjian at a more reasonable 1.5%.

IUPAC Name: octahydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one
Use (Hekserij)
Bicyclononalactone has a warm spicy scent reminiscent of scents such as hay,
tonka beans and coconut. The smell is not particularly strong, undiluted use is
common. Typical use is as a substitute for coumarin. You usually use between
0.1% and 10% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well
with spicy scents, spice and vanilla: it adds warmth and something sweet. It is
primarily a base note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including
soaps and candles. It cannot be used in bleach and the stability is less with
very acidic products.
