Cis-3-Hexenol Natural Isolate
Adam Michael has this to say “This Cis-3-Hexenol Natural Isolate is so juicy, green, light, bright, sparkling with the dewy scent of freshly mown grass and crisp green apple. Typically associated with the aroma of freshly mown grass and personally to me, reminiscent of walking on a mowed lawn in the early morning, just as the sun starts to rise, with the grass slightly wet and dewy.
Here at Hermitage Oils we are very proud to introduce this natural isolate, more so as within natural perfumery green leafy notes are relatively rare to come across, especially where no minty nuances are desired, nor the slight harshness of galbanum essential oil, nor the light decaying green foliage notes found in violet leaf absolute. Cis-3-hexenol natural isolate is the perfect neutral green note that can be pushed in any direction in combination with other green notes or can be used as a stand-alone green note for a lighter, more modern perfume composition. It also pairs very well with trans-2 hexenal natural isolate when creating fresh green apple notes, and it offers interesting effects used in florals through to fruits but can also find excellent use for injecting a green edge to sea/oceanic accords.
A true top note powerhouse, this cis 3 hexenol natural isolate (also called Leaf Alcohol) is of 98% purity, light years superior to the synthetic offering and most useful to the perfumer and even hobbyist who just wants to learn more about individual notes. I would also advise that this material is diluted in alcohol, personally I find a 10% dilution works best.”
Arctander has this to say “Traces of cis-3-Hexenol are used in refreshing topnotes in delicate floral fragrance types, such as Muguet and Lilac, and the alcohol is often used along with Geranium oil, Galbanum, Oakmoss, Lavender and Mint oils in various fragrance types.”
Extracted from peppermint essential oil.

I might be loosing it, but appart from the description, I also smell a bit of waxy-fatty-gluey and osmanthus-goaty loveliness in there. I can imagine how it would agree with well trans-2 hexenal, no doubt, the fresh soury apple aroma is trapped within. Freshly mown grass in the early morning: yes, that captures the essence of this material!

Very strong when at 100% with an intense green, fresh cut grass aroma. Perfect for building fruity floral accords.
Agree with Anag that there is an underlying waxy apple going on in the background.

Intense, vibrant, green juice!
Perfect as an accessory note, very versatile.
It’s very diffusive. A bit juicier and livelier than the synthetic version. Very interesting for building various accords, for fruit notes, or with florals.

Diluted 10% in alcohol.
First smell, my room fills with green. First memory, a looong time ago, summer, in the evening, my father mows our lawn with an old gasoline lawnmower.
Freshly mown damp grass lies in the shade, a bit of green apple and something dark, slightly oily that I somehow associate with gasoline and the lawnmower.
Top note.
Very interesting piece of nature.

True Masterclass Cut Grass note. It Vegetables on steroids like Peppers and Jalapenos! Once your nose is full of this stuff, you instantly recognize the pear and apple rinds. This isolate pairs extremely well with Galbanol.
This material can really bring out the Superior Jasmine Sambac here. It’s perfect for Spring themes. I’m using this for a sea-themed perfume as it’s loaded with heavy base notes like seaweed absolute making this the only viable option to induce green-notes. Galbanol is great, but it’s really a green rounder whereas Cis-3-Hex is like a diffusive green straight!
