Prunol

Prunol, also known as prunella or undecalactone, is a synthetic compound often used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and in flavoring foods. It has a distinctive scent profile characterized by a rich, fruity aroma reminiscent of ripe peaches and apricots, with creamy, lactonic nuances that give it a soft, velvety texture. Prunol typically lends a sweet, comforting note to fragrances or flavors, creating a lush, succulent backdrop that enhances the overall sensory experience. This makes it particularly popular in creating or accentuating gourmand and fruity fragrances, as well as in desserts and beverages where a touch of juicy, creamy fruitiness is desired. Its versatility and appealing scent make it a favorite among perfumers and flavorists seeking to add depth and a natural fruity lushness to their creations.
