How it behaves
volatility index 0.53 · the heartA boiling point of 281 °C and a molecular weight of 170.25 g/mol give Gamma Decalactone a volatility index of 0.53, which places it in the heart of a composition.
It arrives as the opening thins and holds the centre of a composition, which is where most of the character of a fragrance is decided.
The index runs from 0 for a material that barely leaves the strip to 1 for one that flashes off, and it is computed from boiling point and molecular weight. Inside a real formula the surrounding materials shift where the boundaries fall, so a material can read differently there than it does here.
