Description
Gamma-dodecalactone delivers sweet summer scents reminiscent of peach and citrus. This ingredient occurs naturally in strawberries, milk, butter, lamb, and kumquats. Perfumers often prefer creating a nature-identical version of gamma-dodecalactone in the laboratory. This ensures consistent quality in the final products and helps preserve natural resources. The laboratory-produced version can be sourced from various origins, including renewable materials, making it a more sustainable option.
