    Switching between hay and tonka beans depending on the context of the material in a fragrance, coumarin is one of the most widely used and popular aroma chemicals. It was the first synthetic used in a fragrance — 10% of Fougère Royale by Paul Parquet for Houbigant in 1882 (see the formula for this fine fragrance below).

    A touch of coumarin can naturalise vanillin giving a truer note of vanilla beans, while an overdose contributes a wonderful cut hay scent. 

    This natural coumarin is isolated from cassia bark and may be said to hint at its originating source as it has a slightly warmer, spicier and more pungent odour profile than synthetic coumarin.

    General Information

    Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.

    All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

    IFRA Standards

    Permitted amounts in finished product:

    IFRA 51: 1.5%
    IFRA 49: 1.5%

    These are derived from calculated concentrations which do not replace chromatographic quantification on individual lots. Disclaimer...

    Cinnamony hay

    I purchased this via Perfumer Supply House in the US and will definitely repurchase from here when that runs out! I used this for a cinnamon-inflected fougere and it fit absolutely perfectly in that context. A lovely, sweet, powdery coumarin with a notable cinnamon-esque overture.

    Coumarin like no other!

    Coumarin Nat. ex Cassia is complex and surprisingly rich. This is a good example why one might require a natural over synthetic, even when dealing with single molecules for certain formulas. This offering is seriously good. Evaluating at 10% solution, I first get a robust note leaning towards leather, spice and opoponax evoking the dry-down of Guerlain’s legendary Jicky. After a while, I get a joyful, naturalistic dried hay + sweetgrass note which I am very familiar with as I used to pick it all summer when I lived in the arctic side of Norway. Finally a delicious custard-note comes forth, just like biting into a warm, freshly baked Pastel de Nata, generously dusted with cinnamon powder. No cherry-tobacco notes, if that is what you seek, go for a regular quality AC.
