Description

Methyl Octin Carbonate, commonly known as MOC, is a versatile green-floral aroma chemical valued for its fresh, airy and slightly fruity character. It can contribute green, leafy, floral, violet-like and subtly fruity facets to fragrance compositions.

MOC is particularly useful when a formulation needs a fresh natural-green effect with a soft floral character. It can help brighten floral accords while adding a clean, contemporary quality.

In perfumery, Methyl Octin Carbonate is useful in green, floral, violet, fresh, fruity-floral and modern unisex compositions. It can also work as a connecting material between bright green top notes and softer floral heart notes.

Perfumers' Tip

Methyl Octin Carbonate is useful for creating a fresh, green and airy floral effect. Combine it with Cis-3-Hexenol and Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate for a realistic leafy-green accord, or pair it with Ionones for a soft violet-green character. Hedione and Linalool can increase floral radiance, while white musks provide a clean and smooth finish.
