Cis-3-Hexanol

The aroma of Cis-3-Hexenol, commonly known as leaf alcohol, is often described as intensely green and fresh, closely resembling the smell of freshly cut grass or crushed green leaves. It has a somewhat sharp, yet refreshing character, and is commonly used to evoke natural, outdoor, or botanical atmospheres in both perfumery and flavor industries. Its distinct "green" aroma makes it a popular choice for replicating or enhancing plant-like scents, for example the grassy note in Chartreuse.
