coconut fragrance

Coconut fragrance is a complex scent material primarily utilized for its vivid coconut aroma, which evokes tropical and creamy nuances. It encompasses synonymous terms such as toasted coconut fragrance and coconut fragrance natural essence. The odor profile distinctly reflects the coconut character, classified under natural essence fragrances. This material is recognized in fragrance manufacturing and is soluble in solvents like alcohol and paraffin oil but not in water. For further reference, see its controlled-vocabulary link on PubChem. It is typically derived through synthesis or extraction of aromatic compounds reminiscent of coconut’s natural scent and incorporated in a broad range of fragranced products.

Coconut fragrance occurs as an essential aromatic ingredient in the formulation of fragranced products across many categories, exploiting its warm, tropical coconut odor. This fragrance material is not used for flavoring consumer foods or beverages but finds application in personal care, household, and specialty fragranced products. Odor-wise, it complements or replaces notes such as coconut tropical, toasted, or sweet grass, and is relevant in creating complex scent blends capturing tropical, forest, or gourmand profiles including toffee and vanilla nuances. Its use aligns with standards like FEMA (US) for fragrance ingredients, serving primarily in odor purposes rather than flavor enhancement.

The physical and chemical properties of coconut fragrance significantly influence its application in product formulations. Possessing a specific gravity range from 0.89 to 0.99 at 25 °C, it is relatively dense compared to water, which it does not dissolve in. Instead, it is soluble in common organic solvents such as alcohol and paraffin oil, facilitating its incorporation into various bases and solvents typical in fragrance development. Its refractive index between 1.47 and 1.49 at 20 °C suggests a moderate optical density. These attributes assist formulators in predicting compatibility, stability, and how the fragrance disperses within diverse product matrices.
