Odor Description: sweet, tonka-coconut, smooth, vanilla nuances

A classic molecule from the IFF portfolio —  a saturated, hydrogenated version of coumarin (hence the synonym octahydrocoumarin). It was developed in the post-war period of synthetic perfumery, when chemists systematically hydrogenated aromatic compounds to reduce toxicity and improve stability — and the project fully succeeded: Bicyclononalactone is more stable and tenacious than classic coumarin, and on top of that it is liquid (unlike crystalline coumarin), which makes it easier to work with in compositions.

It is sweet, powdery, lactonic — with a characteristic tonka-coumarin core, but a distinctly creamier, coconut-milky finish compared to classic coumarin. In the background linger subtle facets of almond, vanilla, hay and a delicate buttery-fatty sweetness.
