According to arctander: “this ester finds considerable use in perfumes, where it may lend pleasant and natural freshness to delicate florals (muguet, lilac, narcisse, etc.) and participate in creating true-to-nature, foliage-green topnotes in other fragrance types. the ester is most likely to supersede the less stable and less natural smelling alkyl acetylenic esters, slowly being abandoned in modem perfumery.”
IFF: Intensely green, freshly cut grass, slightly fruity
FCI SAS: Very powerful green note with a fruity fresh natural lift
Fraterworks: Cis-3-hexenyl acetate (an ester of cis-3-hexenol) is the sharper and more powerful member of the leaf alcohol family. it is found naturally in numerous essential oils and absolutes and is indispensable when making muguet or fresh air notes in fragrances.
While often used in combination with cis-3-hexenol, this material works wonderfully alone and we highly recommend having both in your perfumery organ.
Blends beautifully with verdantol™, muguet bases, jasmine sambac, and rose absolute where a trace of cis-3-hexenyl can take it in the direction of the lovely green rose bourbon.
Owing to the high strength of this material we also offer it pre-diluted to 10% in DPG.
