Synonyms: Leaf Alcohol Classification: Top Note[i]
Cis-3-hexenol and its ester Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate are the two most important green chemicals in the perfumery palette. Both chemicals are naturally exuded by grass as a a type of defence against cuts and so in combination they produce that characteristic odour of newly trimmed lawns.
Cis-3-Hexenol can be dosed higher than its acetate and it is a wonderful way to add natural greenness to floral notes or to simply add a lovely green nuance to a scent.
Owing to the high strength of this material we also offer it pre-diluted to 10% in DPG.
Fragrances featuring Cis 3 Hexenol include Chanel No 19 and Cristalle and Eau de Champagne (1976) by Sisley.

Cis-3-Hexenol delivers an intensely green, fresh aroma that vividly evokes freshly cut grass and crushed green leaves, with subtle vegetable and herbaceous undertones.
Essential for creating realistic green freshness in fragrances; adds natural leafy character to florals and provides lift to fruity accords.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
