cis-3-Hexenyl acetate delivers a quintessential “green-fresh” character, evoking just-cut grass, a garden after rain, and crisp apple–pear peel. It opens bright, cool, and juicy within seconds, leaving a clean, airy, and energetic impression.

In fine fragrance and home scent products at SCENT, this material is used to “naturalize” fruity, floral, and herbal accords. It lifts the top, adds vibrancy and clarity to the composition, and imparts a moist, dewy fullness to key notes. Its green facet also tidies the structure, helping to temper excessive sweetness or powder.

From a sensory standpoint, it diffuses well and sits in the top-to-heart range, giving a distinctly crisp freshness on first spray while leaving a gentle green signature into the mid. The fruity-green nuance with a hint of “young banana–crisp pear” enhances the realism of naturals in the formula.

It suits many applications: eau de parfum, soaps, gel fresheners, reed diffusers, aroma wax melts, and scented candles. At prudent dosages, cis-3-hexenyl acetate conveys a “freshly picked” effect across modern themes-from transparent fruits and soft florals to clean, garden-like concepts.

The material is a colorless liquid with a clean, incisive odor and blends easily with most essential oils and common aroma chemicals. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light and keep tightly closed to preserve freshness. For commercial development, consult current fragrance safety guidelines and test on the intended base to optimize performance and diffusion.
