Cis 3 Hexenyl Acetate

Leaf Acetate

Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate is a highly diffusive green-fruity aroma material prized for its ability to introduce vivid freshness, natural realism and sparkling botanical lift to fragrance compositions.

Its distinctive profile opens with an intensely crisp, leafy-green character, followed by sharp, juicy fruit facets reminiscent of freshly cut stems, crushed foliage and the peel of an unripe banana.

In dilution, softer pear, apple, pineapple and tropical fruit nuances begin to emerge, giving the material remarkable versatility across both naturalistic and imaginative accords.

An essential ingredient for creating convincing leafy, stemmy and foliage-green effects, Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate brings immediate vitality to fragrance top notes.

It is especially valuable in the construction of fresh fruit accords, enhancing pineapple, pear, apple and banana compositions with a bright, freshly harvested quality rather than overt sweetness.

Within floral perfumery, it adds authenticity and natural texture to Jasmine, Muguet, Lilac, Narcissus and other delicate blossoms.

Its green lift suggests living petals, moist stems and freshly gathered flowers, helping floral accords feel more radiant, dimensional and true to nature.

Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate also performs beautifully in modern colognes, green florals, fruity fragrances, botanical concepts and contemporary masculine compositions.

Used with restraint, it creates an elegant fresh-air effect; at higher levels, it can produce bold crushed-leaf, green-fruit and tropical foliage impressions.

Its strong diffusion allows even small quantities to brighten a formula, connect green and fruity elements, and give heavier floral or woody structures a more vibrant opening.

It blends particularly well with Cis-3-Hexenol, Hexyl Acetate, fruity esters, citrus materials, Jasmine ingredients, violet-leaf notes, galbanum effects and fresh aldehydic accords.

As modern perfumery increasingly favours stable, natural-smelling green materials, Cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate offers a refined and versatile alternative to older alkyl acetylenic esters.

Powerful yet highly adaptable, it is an indispensable ingredient for creating fragrances with freshness, realism and the unmistakable sensation of living green nature.
