Coumarin

8 perfumes

Coumarin, derived from the tonka bean or synthesized, is the heartbeat of the fougère family. It offers a multifaceted profile: warm, powdery, and reminiscent of freshly mown hay with nuances of almond and vanilla. Primarily a base note, it provides exceptional longevity and a creamy, addictive sweetness. In the Gulf, coumarin is prized for its ability to soften the intensity of heavy oud and saffron blends, adding a sophisticated, gourmand depth that resonates beautifully with the region’s love for opulent, lingering scents.
