Description

Cis-6-Nonenol is a green aroma chemical with a fresh, leafy and slightly watery character. It has a natural vegetal quality that can suggest freshly cut leaves, cucumber and green plant matter. Its clean, natural profile makes it useful for creating realistic green effects and adding freshness to fragrance compositions.

In perfumery, Cis-6-Nonenol is primarily valued for its ability to bring a crisp green character to an accord without making the composition overly sweet or floral. It can be used to enhance green, fresh, aquatic and botanical themes, and is particularly useful when building the impression of freshly crushed vegetation. When blended carefully with fruity, floral and citrus materials, it can provide contrast and naturalistic freshness while helping an accord feel more vibrant and lifelike.
