Tonka Bean - Coumarin Oil
£6.99
About 90% of modern perfumes contain coumarin, you can easily detect it by reviewing the list of ingredients on the perfume packaging. Every second perfume has more than 1% of coumarin.
The scent of coumarin is usually described as freshly mown hay. In low concentration coumarin really reminds somewhat of rotting hay, but in a big quantity it has a sweet gourmand, almond-vanillic aroma. Thus gourmand perfumes have it the most. In descriptive lists of perfume notes it might hide behind tonka beans, vanilla, marzipan or tobacco. So called С6 wound compounds, and cis-3-Hexenol among the first, are responsible for its fresh green grassy facet. at 10.00 in dpg
