Coumarin

Coumarin is a warm, sweet scent note with a soft, powdery character. It combines creamy vanilla-like facets with hints of almond, hay, and subtle spice, creating a comforting and elegant impression. Widely used in fougère and oriental fragrances, it adds smooth sweetness, depth, and a refined, slightly nostalgic warmth.

Chemistry and Molecular Structure

Coumarin is a benzopyrone compound with a fused aromatic ring and lactone structure, giving it its characteristic sweet, hay-like scent. Its molecular formula is C9H6O2. The planar structure allows stable interactions with olfactory receptors, while its moderate volatility contributes to a smooth, long-lasting and softly diffusive fragrance profile.
