Synonyms: Leaf Acetate Classification: Top Note[i]
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.

Cis-3-hexenyl acetate presents an intensely sharp, green, and diffusive aroma reminiscent of freshly cut grass, complemented by distinctive fruity facets suggesting unripe banana peel, crisp green apple, and pear.
Essential for creating natural freshness and lift in fragrances; imparts realistic green-leafy character to floral and fruity compositions.

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.
