Maple Lactone

A powerful, warm gourmand material centred on maple sweetness and caramel, with a contrasting liquorice accent. Roasted-coffee shading accompanies spicy and walnut-like nuances, while celery and tobacco provide quieter secondary detail. The supplier classifies it as a heart material and reports substantial odour strength. No separate opening-to-dry-down progression or projection test is described, so a specific sequence of blotter development cannot be assigned.

Provides a warm, substantial gourmand contribution, supporting maple, caramel, coffee and toasted-sugar constructions. In fougère and chypre compositions, it can substitute for part of the coumarin contribution to give a rounder, warmer result. The supplier also describes reinforcement of warmth and persistence when combined with tonka, tobacco, hay or celery-seed materials.

The supplier gives 2.5% as an average inclusion in the fragrance concentrate. This is formulation guidance, not an IFRA limit; no separate trace-use range, accord-specific dosage or overdose level is supplied. The page does not clarify whether this figure refers to neat material or the offered 10% dilution.

No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.

Tenacity

Supplier-reported persistence exceeds 16 hours on a smelling strip. Evaluation concentration and other test conditions are not stated.

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

Solvents

DPG is the solvent used for the supplier's 10% preparation. No quantitative solubility data or compatibility information for other solvents is provided.

Working dilution

A 10% preparation in dipropylene glycol (DPG) is offered as a convenient handling form alongside the neat crystals. The page does not specify a separate dilution for olfactory evaluation.

Appearance

The neat material is crystalline, with a light yellow colour.
