Profile
Massoia Lactone is curated in this catalog as a creamy fruit material, with a secondary reading of lactonic.
On the strip it reads creamy coconut milk lactonic.
It is registered under CAS 51154-96-2.
The catalog records an average working dose of 1% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.
How it behaves
volatility index 0.72 · the openingA boiling point of 172 °C and a molecular weight of 168.23 g/mol give Massoia Lactone a volatility index of 0.72, 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 Massoia Lactone
What does Massoia Lactone smell like?
Massoia Lactone reads as creamy fruit and lactonic, described in the catalog as creamy coconut milk lactonic.
Is Massoia Lactone a top, heart or base note?
Massoia Lactone sits in the opening. Its volatility index of 0.72 is computed from a boiling point of 172 °C and a molecular weight of 168.23 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 Massoia Lactone should I use?
The catalog records an average working dose of 1% Max% for Massoia Lactone. 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 Massoia Lactone?
The closest materials in this catalog by olfactive profile and physical behaviour are Gamma Octalactone (91.3% match), delta-Decalactone (83.5% match) and Aldehyde C-18 COCONUT (81.3% match). Closeness is scored on descriptor taxonomy and on measured properties, so the nearest match is the one that behaves most like Massoia Lactone. Ranking ignores price.
