Profile
Gamma Octalactone is curated in this catalog as a lactonic material, with a secondary reading of creamy fruit.
On the strip it reads Coconut peach cream.
It is registered under CAS 104-50-7.
The catalog records an average working dose of 12% Max In Concentrate%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.
How it behaves
volatility index 0.64 · the openingA boiling point of 234 °C and a molecular weight of 142.2 g/mol give Gamma Octalactone a volatility index of 0.64, which places it in the opening of a composition.
It leaves the strip early and does its work in the first minutes, before the heart arrives.
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 Octalactone
What does Gamma Octalactone smell like?
Gamma Octalactone reads as lactonic and creamy fruit, described in the catalog as Coconut peach cream.
Is Gamma Octalactone a top, heart or base note?
Gamma Octalactone sits in the opening. Its volatility index of 0.64 is computed from a boiling point of 234 °C and a molecular weight of 142.2 g/mol, rather than assigned by hand. It leaves the strip early and does its work in the first minutes, before the heart arrives.
How much Gamma Octalactone should I use?
The catalog records an average working dose of 12% Max In Concentrate% for Gamma Octalactone. 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 Octalactone?
The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Massoia Lactone (90.3% match), Aldehyde C-18 COCONUT (77.9% match) and delta-Decalactone (69.9% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Gamma Octalactone. Ranking ignores price.
What is the CAS number for Gamma Octalactone?
