A rich, creamy coconut-lactone with a soft milky-waxy character. Opens with a smooth, buttery coconut-cream impression and settles into a fatty, slightly powdery sweetness reminiscent of suntan lotion and warm milk. Less sharp than gamma-nonalactone, with a rounder, more skin-like feel.AI · claude-opus-4-7
