Compiled from the Note Identification Project Thread:
Coumarin, 2% diluton in ethanol: to my nose, the queen of my whole notes lineup ... lovelovelove it (sorry to be so enthusiastic!). Sweet hay, golden honey, ambery goodness with undertones of almond. It smells like a gorgeous bouquet of many of my favourite notes. No wonder it is listed on the majority of my perfume boxes (yes, I started to check the lists ) and I bet it's on yours too. I believe it is able to round out any scent beautifully.
Coumarin: hmmm... to me it smelled like cheap almond essence used for flavouring food.
Coumarin Like nothing I exptected. A bittersweet almond, more of what I expected from heliotropin. Here is the nutty-cherry aroma of many perfumes. It is like old-fashioned Jergens hand lotion. It is wonderful. The scent grows in strength as it dries. Might benefit from the addition of a sweet, creamy base.
