Profile
gamma-Dodecalactone is curated in this catalog as a stone fruit material, with a secondary reading of lactonic.
On the strip it reads creamy peach pear lactonic.
It is registered under CAS 2305-05-7.
The catalog records an average working dose of 5% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.
How it behaves
volatility index 0.48 · the baseA boiling point of 294.7 °C and a molecular weight of 198.3 g/mol give gamma-Dodecalactone a volatility index of 0.48, which places it in the base of a composition.
It evaporates slowly and anchors the drydown, still readable on skin hours after the top notes have gone.
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.

Questions about gamma-Dodecalactone
What does gamma-Dodecalactone smell like?
gamma-Dodecalactone reads as stone fruit and lactonic, described in the catalog as creamy peach pear lactonic.
Is gamma-Dodecalactone a top, heart or base note?
gamma-Dodecalactone sits in the base. Its volatility index of 0.48 is computed from a boiling point of 294.7 °C and a molecular weight of 198.3 g/mol, rather than assigned by hand. It evaporates slowly and anchors the drydown, still readable on skin hours after the top notes have gone.
How much gamma-Dodecalactone should I use?
The catalog records an average working dose of 5% Max% for gamma-Dodecalactone. Treat that as the starting point for a trial: the right dose depends on what else is in the formula and what you want it to do there.
What can I use instead of gamma-Dodecalactone?
The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are delta-Decalactone (77% match), Aldehyde C-18 COCONUT (70.9% match) and Damascone Alpha (68.8% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like gamma-Dodecalactone. Ranking ignores price.
What is the CAS number for gamma-Dodecalactone?
gamma-Dodecalactone is registered under CAS 2305-05-7 in this catalog.
