According to arctander: “this lactone is used in perfumery in heavy floral fragrances such as gardenia, tuberose, hyacinth, and even in lily. it serves as an interesting modifier or substitute for coumarin in herbaceous fragrance types, fougeres, lavenders, etc. in spite of its comparatively low boiling point, it has an excellent tenacity.”
