Short profile
A potent green material whose early impression centres on bruised foliage and stems rather than freshly cut grass. Herbal shades accompany a restrained green-apple fruitiness, with vine-leaf nuances and a faintly fatty freshness. Relative to cis-3-hexenol, its character is rounder, warmer and less piercing, with somewhat greater persistence. The supplier positions it for green opening and heart effects but provides no measured projection or stage-by-stage blotter dry-down.
Effect in a formula
Introduces a rounded foliage-and-stem character that makes green constructions feel less artificial. Alongside other hexenols and hexenals, it contributes botanical complexity, adding a gentler herbal dimension to cis-3-hexenol. Its stated applications include green top and heart structures, fruit and vegetable accords, and florals requiring a more natural plant-like aspect.
Use and dosage
The supplier gives 0.1–1% of the fragrance concentrate as a customary formulation range, including green structures and botanical detailing in florals. A separate recommendation of 0.01–0.5% refers to the finished fragrance, not the concentrate. These are creative use recommendations, not IFRA limits; no specific overdose range is supplied.
No confirmed manufacturer use level for this exact product.
Behaviour and performance
- Tenacity
- The supplier estimates an early fragrance contribution lasting minutes to approximately 1 hour and describes persistence as slightly greater than cis-3-hexenol. This is a volatility-based indication, not a measured blotter substantivity result; no test dilution or substrate is specified.
Diffusion, tenacity and note impact are not combined into a single performance score.
