Description

Methyl Heptine Carbonate, also known as Methyl 2-Octynoate and Folione, is a highly characterful green aroma chemical. It is particularly associated with violet leaf, cucumber and fresh green notes, with additional fruity, watery and slightly floral nuances. At high concentration its odor can be sharp and unpleasant, while dilution reveals its distinctive violet-green character.

In perfumery, Methyl Heptine Carbonate is valued as a powerful green and violet-leaf modifier. It can introduce a crisp vegetal freshness reminiscent of crushed leaves, cucumber and watery green fruit, making it useful for modern green, floral, fruity and aquatic compositions. Because of its strong odor impact, it is generally evaluated at very low levels and is particularly useful for giving an accord definition and naturalistic green character.

Perfumers' Tip

Methyl Heptine Carbonate is best treated as a high-impact green accent rather than a bulk ingredient. Use a trace amount to give violet-leaf and cucumber accords a sharper, more realistic green character. Pairing it with Melonal can emphasize watery freshness, while Cis-3-Hexenol and other green materials can create a convincing crushed-leaf effect.
