Men s Fragrances. Earlier ia the twentieth century, men s fragrances were expected to have a masculine direction, such as tobacco, leather, fougere, or citms, even if only in name. This is no longer tme, however since the 1970s, men s perfumes have become less conservative and have allowed much more creative use of rich woody, ambery, and green notes. 

Free and esterified, saturated primary alcohols occur widely in nature, e.g., in fruit. Since their odor is relatively weak, their use as components in fragrance compositions is limited. Their use in aroma compositions, especially for fruit flavors, is by far more important (e.g., straight-chain C4-C10 alcohols, isoamyl alcohol). Unsaturated alcohols are most important (e.g., leaf alcohol with its intensely green odor) and may impart characteristic notes to compositions. 

Nonadienol is a powerful fragrance substance. It is used in fine fragrances to create refined violet odors and to impart interesting notes to other blossom compositions. In aroma compositions it is used for fresh-green cucumber notes. FCT 1982 (20) p.771. 

It can be synthesized by reaction of a 1 1 molar ratio of ethyl vinyl ether and phenethyl alcohol in the presence of cation exchange resin [141]. It imparts fresh, floral, green notes and is used in fine fragrances as well as in soap, cosmetics and detergents.

Coumarin 162 (Structure 4.49) is a naturally occurring lactone in crystal form found in hay and tonka beans. It is one of the most used fragrance materials and is responsible for spicy green notes. Dihydrocoumarine 163 is also present in various essential oils with a characteristic sweet herbal odour. Umbellif-erone 164, scopoletin 165, bergaptene 166 and coumarin are found in Rutaceae, Apiaceae, Lamiaceae and Asteraceae oils. Nepetalactones 167 are confined to the oils of Nepeta species [1,3, 21-23, 63].
