Perfumers' Tip

Cis-3-Hexenol is excellent for creating a realistic freshly cut grass and green-leaf effect. Combine it with Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate and Stemone for a fuller green accord, or use it with citrus oils to create a bright natural opening. A small amount in floral compositions can add freshness and make the fragrance feel more natural.
