coumarin

Sweet clover extract

Coumarin is a fragrant organic compound found naturally in many plants, responsible for the sweet, vanilla-like scent of fresh-cut hay, tonka beans, and sweet clover.

It's used in perfumes and as a flavoring agent, though restricted in food in some countries due to liver toxicity concerns at high doses: The coumarin in cinnamon gives it part of its distinctive aroma.
