Gamma Nonalactone, with CAS number 104-61-0, is a synthetic aroma chemical known for its creamy, coconut-like scent profile. It is often used in perfumery to impart a smooth, milky character, making it a popular choice in compositions that aim to evoke tropical or gourmand themes. This compound typically finds its place in the heart or base notes of fragrances, where it can enhance the overall richness and depth of the scent. In addition to its olfactory contributions, Gamma Nonalactone is valued for its ability to blend well with other ingredients, allowing perfumers to create complex and harmonious formulations. As with many synthetic aroma chemicals, it is important to consider safety and regulatory aspects when using Gamma Nonalactone in formulations. While specific restrictions may vary, it is advisable for perfumers to consult the latest IFRA guidelines and safety data sheets to ensure compliance with any applicable regulations regarding its use in cosmetic products. — AI-generated summary, 2026-09-02.
