Coumarin
“The sweet hay-like molecule behind tonka — warm almond-vanilla sweetness with a tobacco-like softness.”
Coumarin is the sweet, hay-like molecule found in tonka beans, smelling of new-mown hay, vanilla and almonds with warm, comforting character. It is the backbone of fougere perfumery. In perfumery it brings a sweet-herbaceous warmth to masculine classics and comforting compositions. In India, its warm sweetness suits winter evenings. The quiet hero of traditional masculine fragrance.
