Gamma Octalactone

Coconut dominates a sweet lactonic profile, with a creamy texture, butter-like softness and a restrained nutty accent. The supplier's evaluation also identifies leafy fig, hay and sweet green nuances, giving the coconut-milk character a grassy, herbal contrast. It is positioned primarily as a persistent base-note material rather than an opening effect. The page reports moderate odour strength but does not document projection or a timed opening-to-dry-down progression on blotter.

Provides coconut character and creamy body, adding buttery richness to gourmand structures. It supports a milky treatment of white florals, particularly tuberose and gardenia. With vanilla and benzyl salicylate, it contributes to sunscreen-style beach accords; the supplier also recommends it for milky fig effects and green-creamy sandalwood bases.

The recommended-use section gives 0.1–2% of the fragrance concentrate. Elsewhere, the page assigns the same range to finished fragrance, so its concentration basis is not consistent across sections. Treat this as supplier formulation guidance, not an IFRA limit; no separate trace-use or overdose range is supplied.

No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.

Tenacity

Blotter substantivity is reported as 144 hours in the page's TGSC-attributed data. The test dilution and other measurement conditions are not specified.

Diffusion, tenacity and note impact are not combined into a single performance score.

Solvents

Ethanol, DPG and IPM are reported to produce clear solutions promptly. Water solubility is limited; the page does not provide quantitative solubility or miscibility limits.

Working dilution

For compounding, prepare a 10% stock in either ethanol or DPG. For smelling, the supplier separately recommends 1%; it does not designate a specific solvent for that evaluation dilution.

Appearance

Liquid with no visible colour.
