Hexenyl Cis-3 Salicylate

cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate is a fragrance ingredient valued in perfumery for its fresh, green, and softly floral character. Its scent profile is often described as leafy and natural, combining the crisp freshness of crushed green leaves with a gentle floral sweetness reminiscent of lily-of-the-valley and soft floral bouquets.

The material typically appears as a clear to pale liquid with moderate viscosity, and is appreciated for its smooth diffusion and lasting presence in fragrance compositions. Its character is fresh yet rounded, making it particularly effective for adding natural greenery and softness to floral accords.

In practical perfumery, cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate is frequently used to enhance green floral compositions, while also contributing freshness and body to floral bouquets. It blends especially well with muguet materials, jasmine, rose, green notes, and light woody or musky ingredients, making it suitable for many fragrance styles including green florals, fresh compositions, and modern natural-inspired perfumes.
