Cis-3 hexenyl salicylate smells like a green, aromatic floral with phenolic, medicinal, leathery, and mossy facets.
Luebke, William tgsc, (1995): Floral green metallic herbal balsam
Fraterworks: Cis-3-hexenyl salicylate is probably the most versatile of the green family, owing to its lightness and blending capabilities. often replacing the hugely popular benzyl salicylate of the past, cis-3-hexenyl salicylate offers virtually all of the same benefits with the added fresh connotations.
Cis-3-hexenyl salicylate is balsamic, floral, green and orchid-like. it adds freshness and a sense of space to perfumes and could be considered beneficial to virtually every scent type.
This material blends beautifully with its relatives, particularly cis-3-hexenyl benzoate, cis-3-hexenol and cis-3-hexenyl acetate.
Like the benzoate, this also blends nicely with herbaceous oils like clary sage oil and lavender oil and absolute.
