Comment (FraterWork)
Maple Lactone is a powerhouse aroma chemical, prized for its rich, caramellic
warmth with a distinctive licorice twist. It adds depth to gourmand compositions
and enhances classic fragrance families like fougères and chypres, where it can
partially replace coumarin to create a warmer, more rounded profile.
According to Arctander, Maple Lactone delivers a sweet, spicy caramel effect
with nutty, walnut-like undertones, alongside subtle hints of celery and
tobacco. It pairs beautifully with tonka, tobacco, new-mown hay, and celery seed
oil, reinforcing their warmth and extending longevity.
For perfumers, we offer Maple Lactone in pure crystal form or diluted to 10% in
DPG, ensuring ease of use while maintaining its bold, stable character.
KNOW YOUR MAPLE LACTONE: STABILITY MATTERS
Not all “Maple Lactone” on the market is the same. Methyl Cyclopentanedione (CAS
765-70-8) is often confused with it, but that diketone tautomer is weaker and
less stable. Over time, it reverts to the stronger, more potent 80-71-7 form—the
one trusted by professionals for its superior performance in fine fragrance and
flavour applications.
With Maple Lactone (80-71-7), you’re getting the real deal—bold, stable, and
ready to elevate your compositions.
For an alternative with a toasty brown sugar warmth, keep an eye out for Methyl
Corylone (CAS 13494-06-9), launching soon—an exceptional choice for smooth,
buttery caramel notes in gourmand blends.
