Цікавий факт
Synthetic coumarin (first synthesized by William Perkin in 1868) was the first synthetic fragrance ingredient used in perfumery — in Houbigant's Fougere Royale (1882). Before synthesis, flouve (sweet vernal grass) and tonka bean were the only sources. The entire fougere family descends from this one molecule.

У парфумерії
Natural material providing genuine 'new-mown hay' character. Coumarin-dominant with green-grassy complexity. Functions in fougere, green, and pastoral compositions. Provides the same base character as synthetic coumarin but with additional botanical dimensionality. Historically important before coumarin synthesis (1868).
