Description

Cis-3-Hexenyl Caproate is a green and fruity aroma chemical with a fresh, leafy character accompanied by juicy, slightly waxy and fruity nuances. It belongs to the family of cis-3-hexenyl esters, materials valued in perfumery for their ability to reproduce the impression of freshly cut vegetation and natural green fruit.

In fragrance construction, Cis-3-Hexenyl Caproate can add freshness, body and naturalistic character to green and fruity accords. Its combination of leafy-green and fruity facets makes it useful for compositions inspired by freshly cut grass, green fruit, orchard notes and botanical themes. It can also help soften overly sharp green materials by introducing a rounder fruity aspect. It is generally most effective when blended with complementary green, fruity, citrus and floral materials.
