Maple Lactone, with the CAS number 80-71-7, is a fragrance raw material known for its sweet, creamy, and slightly woody character reminiscent of maple syrup. It is often used in perfumery to impart a warm, gourmand note, making it a popular choice in compositions that aim to evoke comfort and indulgence. Typically, Maple Lactone is found in the base or heart notes of a fragrance, where it can enhance the overall sweetness and richness of the scent profile. This material is commonly diluted in a carrier such as dipropylene glycol (DPG) to facilitate its use in formulations, as the 10% dilution indicates. While Maple Lactone is generally considered safe for use in perfumery, it is important for formulators to be aware of any regulatory guidelines, including IFRA standards, that may apply to its use in cosmetic products. As with many fragrance ingredients, it is advisable to conduct thorough safety assessments and consider potential allergenic responses in sensitive individuals. — AI-generated summary, 2026-09-02.
Rich, sweet maple-syrup character with a warm caramelized, buttery-lactonic facet. Reads as a sugared brown-syrup note with hints of fenugreek and burnt sugar, softening into a creamy woody sweetness on the dryout.AI · claude-opus-4-7
