DELTA OCTALACTONE
Description
Delta-octalactone is an 8-membered lactone naturally found in stone fruits and dairy products. Its olfactive profile is fruity, slightly creamy, and lactonic, with a note of fresh peach and warm milk, which gives it a particular sweetness. Less pronounced than longer lactones, it brings a subtle fruity-milky touch that enriches floral-fruity and gourmand accords. Used in light fruity creations, creamy florals, and sweet dessert-type accords, it contributes to the naturalness and roundness of compositions. Its moderate volatility ensures its presence in the middle and base notes of perfumes.
