No stock or price required. Add a batch later only if you want inventory tracking.
Short profile
A leafy, fruit-toned material whose green character is cushioned by waxy softness and a subtle dairy-like creaminess. Its fruit nuances can suggest green pear, unripe melon or grape, depending on the surrounding composition. Compared with cis-3-hexenyl acetate, its greenness is less biting; compared with cis-3-hexenol, it has greater persistence and is positioned more toward the heart than a brief opening effect. The supplier rates both strength and presence in a blend at 5/10 and reports 21 hours of blotter substantivity, without describing a separate late dry-down or a timed sequence of odour changes.
Effect in a formula
Useful for giving leafy themes more continuity through the heart while moderating their sharpness. Its creamy, wax-like contribution integrates green notes with lactonic and fruit elements, and can lend fruit accords a peel-like naturalness. Applications described include green-fruit and grape accords, leafy hearts and fresh florals requiring a juicy green dimension.
Use and dosage
The supplier gives 0.2–2% of the fragrance concentrate as the usual range for leafy hearts, fruit accords and integration of green with creamy notes. A separate range of 0.1–2% is stated for finished fragrance; this has a different reference basis and should not be treated as concentrate guidance. These are formulation recommendations, not IFRA limits.

Behaviour and performance
- Tenacity
- Blotter substantivity is reported as 21 hours, attributed by the supplier to TGSC data. The page also characterises persistence as moderate and heart-supporting; the test dilution and other measurement conditions are not specified.
Diffusion, tenacity and note impact are not combined into a single performance score.
Dissolving and diluting
- Solvents
- The supplier reports prompt formation of clear solutions in ethanol, DPG and IPM. Water solubility is limited; no quantitative solubility or complete-miscibility measurements are supplied.
- Working dilution
- Use a 10% stock for formulation work and a 1% dilution for olfactory assessment. Ethanol is the primary solvent listed; DPG and IPM are also identified as suitable solvent options.
- Appearance
- Liquid, with no visible colour reported.
