Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
Gamma Undecalactone (also incorrectly referred to as Aldehyde C-14 as it is
really a lactone and not an aldehyde) is the classic peach note for perfumes. It
was discovered in 1908 and was first used as part of the key of the sweet
Persicol [https://fraterworks.com/products/persicol] base in Nuit de Chine
(1913) by Maurice Schaller for Paul Poiret's Les Parfums de Rosine, but most
famously a few years later as the key peach note (in the same Persicol base) in
Mitsouko (1919) by Jacques Guerlain.
Undecalactone Gamma can be used at 1% dilution to add a luscious and softening
effect to a fragrance, and in higher doses (at 10% or pure) for a clearly
peach-like quality. Amounts under 1% are most common but there is no limit on
this material and doses far higher are perfectly fine.
Below we present a number of demonstration formulas using Persicol or
Undecalactone Gamma. You can simply replace the Persicol with around 80% of the
same quantity in Undecalactone Gamma for a perfectly good result.
