Odour Profile
Coumarin presents a sweet, powdery, hay-like aroma with pronounced almondy and herbaceous facets, often evoking the distinctive warmth of new-mown hay with subtle vanilla-like and tonka bean nuances.

Uses
Used extensively as a fixative and key structural element in fougère, oriental, and gourmand compositions to impart warmth, sweetness, and volume.

Switching between hay and tonka beans depending on the context of the material in a fragrance, coumarin is one of the most widely used and popular synthetic aroma chemicals. It was the first synthetic used in a fragrance.
A touch of coumarin can naturalise vanillin giving a truer note of vanilla beans, while an overdose contributes a wonderful cut hay scent.
