  • Applications

    cis-3-Hexenyl salicylate (CAS 65405-77-8) is an ester with a signature natural “green-leafy” freshness and soft floral–fruity tonality, widely used in perfumery and in home and personal care fragrancing; it delivers a vivid green lift to floral (rose, muguet, jasmine), tea, herbal, and ozonic accords, rounds citrus, and enhances pear, apple, berry, and fig nuances; commonly employed to build fresh-cut grass, crushed leaves, tomato leaf, and rainy garden effects; it serves as a long-lasting modifier/soft fixative in blends with other salicylates, ionones, cis-3-hexenol, violet leaf, and galbanum; suitable for fine fragrances, body mists, shampoos, shower gels, soaps, detergents, fabric softeners, surface cleaners, candles, air sprays, and diffusers; typical use spans trace levels up to about 0.1–3% in fragrance concentrates depending on base and desired green intensity, offering good bloom and substantiation on fabrics and paper; pairs well with basil/lavender for cleanliness, with tea/lactones for fig/peach effects, and with citrus for crispness; generally stable across many bases but, as an ester, may hydrolyze under strong alkaline conditions or high temperature—so stability testing is advised; always observe IFRA standards and local regulations, and it can also serve as a sensory/GC reference in fragrance research.
