Coconut & coconut water

Pressed coconut oil smells faint; the creamy tropical note is built from lactones.

What it is
A fruit whose smell can’t be extracted, so perfumers rebuild it from other materials.
How perfumers build it
Aldehyde C-18Delta-decalactoneMassoia lactone, not in Ingredients yetVanillin (vanilla)
Worth knowing
Like C-14, 'Aldehyde C-18' is really a lactone (gamma-nonalactone), not an aldehyde.
