Description

Cis-3-Hexenyl Butyrate is a green, fruity aroma chemical known for its fresh, juicy and distinctly leafy character. Its odor profile combines the impression of freshly crushed green leaves with fruity nuances reminiscent of apple, pear and other fresh, juicy fruits. It is useful when a fragrance needs a natural-looking green lift with a soft fruity dimension.

In perfumery, Cis-3-Hexenyl Butyrate is mainly used to create fresh, green and fruity accords. It can help brighten the opening of a composition while also adding realism and diffusion to fruity or botanical themes. The material works particularly well in fragrances inspired by freshly cut grass, green leaves, fruits, gardens and fresh produce. Because of its recognizable green character, it is generally most effective as part of an accord rather than as the sole dominant material.

Perfumers' Tip
