An unusual and very interesting material, sometimes also called dihydrojasmone lactone or lactojasmone, it is mainly used to add rich creamy notes to the heavier florals such as gardenia and tuberose as well as jasmine, and to provide the milky aspects of sandalwood. It can however also be useful to add realism to fruit accords, particularly plum, peach and related types due to its exceptionally natural quality.
Provides opulent flowers like jasmine or narcissus with rich creamy elements and animalic nuances; adds milky accents to sandalwood compositions; underlines the fruity side in osmanthus and the exotic note in frangipani.
