Comment (FraterWork)

Switching between hay and tonka beans depending on the context of the material in a fragrance, coumarin is one of the most widely used and popular synthetic aroma chemicals. It was the first synthetic used in a fragrance — 10% of Fougère Royale by Paul Parquet for Houbigant in 1882 (see the formula for this fine fragrance below). A touch of coumarin can naturalise vanillin [https://fraterworks.com/products/vanillin] giving a truer note of vanilla beans, while an overdose contributes a wonderful cut hay scent. aromachem Best Seller no_reg powder

Uses (FraterWork)

Used extensively as a fixative and key structural element in fougère, oriental, and gourmand compositions to impart warmth, sweetness, and volume.

Use (Hekserij)

Coumarin has a warm, sweet scent reminiscent of almonds. In addition to hay, vanilla, caramel and coconut. The smell is fairly strong, dilution is also recommended because it is a solid: 10% in DPG is usual, but 10% in ethanol 96% is also possible. A 10% solution in IPM will crystallize out quickly, this can be dissolved again with light heating.
