Bicyclononalactone is a fragrance for use in, for example, perfume, cosmetics, soap, candles and air fresheners.

Use

Bicyclononalactone has a warm spicy scent reminiscent of scents such as hay, tonka beans and coconut. The smell is not particularly strong, undiluted use is common. Typical use is as a substitute for coumarin. You usually use between 0.1% and 10% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well with spicy scents, spice and vanilla: it adds warmth and something sweet. It is primarily a base note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including soaps and candles. It cannot be used in bleach and the stability is less with very acidic products.

When used as a substitute for coumarin, it should be remembered that the smell is not exactly the same and the end result will therefore smell different. Advantages of bicyclononalactone over coumarin include its much lower toxicity and the fact that it is a liquid. The latter is especially nice for experimental work.

Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.
