This is the free acid precursor structure related to Jasmolactone/Jasmine lactone chemistry — in isolation it reads as a soft, creamy woody-fruity note with a lactonic coconut-peach facet and a mild waxy undertone. It is diffuse but not sharp, with a rounded, slightly milky character that lingers close to the skin.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Bitter-woody taste in water at concentrations above 10 ppm.
This lactone has been suggested for use in perfumery for its powerful Coumarin-like character, sometimes described as more Tonka-like than Coumarin itself.
Produced by lactonization of the hydrogenated, alpha-ethyl-substituted ortho-hydroxy-phenylacetic acid.
