Coumarin 10% in DPG

Coumarin (10% in DPG) is a pre-diluted fragrance ingredient widely used in perfumery for its sweet, warm, and slightly spicy hay-like aroma with soft hints of vanilla and almond. Naturally associated with tonka beans, coumarin adds a comforting and cozy depth to fragrance blends. This version is diluted to 10% in Dipropylene Glycol (DPG), making it easier to measure, blend, and use in small-batch formulations.

In perfumery, coumarin is primarily used as a base note, where it enhances the warmth and smoothness of fragrance compositions. It is especially effective in gourmand, oriental, woody, and fougère fragrances, helping soften sharp notes while adding richness and longevity to the overall scent profile.
