Perfumers' Tip

Hexalon is useful for adding a fresh, leafy and natural green effect. Combine it with Cis-3-Hexenol and Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate for a vivid freshly cut-green accord, or pair it with Galbanum and Violet Leaf for a deeper botanical direction.

For a fresh fruity-green composition, try Hexalon + Bergamot + Apple + Pear + Hedione + White Musks. Rose and Jasmine can soften its green character, while Iso E Super can provide a smooth woody background.

Because green materials can become sharp when overdosed, start at low levels and evaluate the balance with the other top and heart notes before increasing the dosage.
