Description

Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate is a classic green aroma chemical known for its fresh, crisp and natural leafy character. It has a bright odor profile reminiscent of freshly crushed leaves, green grass and ripe green fruit, with subtle fruity and apple-like nuances.

In perfumery, Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate is widely used to create fresh green, fruity-green, herbal and natural-style accords. It can give a fragrance an immediate impression of freshly cut vegetation and is especially effective for adding freshness and realism to floral and fruity compositions.

Compared with Cis-3-Hexenol, its acetate derivative generally offers a softer, fruitier and more rounded green character, making it particularly useful when a composition needs freshness without an overly sharp grassy effect.

Perfumers' Tip

Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate is excellent for creating a fresh, crisp and natural green opening. Combine it with Cis-3-Hexenol for a realistic freshly cut grass effect, or pair it with fruity materials such as apple and pear for a juicy green-fruity accord. In floral formulas, a small amount can add freshness and make the composition feel more natural.
