Lactone

Lactones are organic compounds widely used in perfumery, known for their creamy, milky, and sometimes fruity aromas. They are derived from the condensation of hydroxy acids and are often found in nature, particularly in fruits like peaches and coconuts. In fragrances, lactones add depth and richness, enhancing floral and fruity notes. Their warm, soft characteristics make them popular for both personal and home fragrances, contributing to the overall sensory experience with a smooth, velvety texture.
