Description

Cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate is a versatile green-floral aroma chemical that combines the fresh character of green leaves with the soft, floral warmth of a salicylate. Its odor profile features fresh leafy, green, floral, herbal and slightly fruity nuances, making it useful for adding natural freshness and body to fragrance compositions.

In perfumery, it is particularly valuable in green, floral, fresh and botanical accords. It can provide a smooth green character while also helping to add substantivity and fullness to the fragrance.

The material works especially well in compositions inspired by fresh leaves, green gardens and natural florals. Its softer profile compared with sharper green materials makes it useful for rounding out green accords without making them excessively harsh.

Perfumers' Tip

Cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate is excellent for creating a soft, long-lasting green-floral effect. Combine it with Cis-3-Hexenol and Stemone for a realistic leafy accord, or use it with Hedione and floral materials to add freshness and body. It can also help smooth sharper green ingredients and create a more natural transition into the base.
