Product Description

• Cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate – Fresh Green, Floral & Soft Balsamic Aroma Chemical

  Experience the natural freshness of green floral perfumery with Cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate, a versatile aroma chemical widely appreciated for its delicate leafy-green, soft floral, and mildly balsamic fragrance character.

  Fragrance Lab™ Pakistan presents Cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate as a valuable perfumery ingredient for professional fragrance creators, independent perfume brands, and DIY perfumers looking to develop elegant green floral compositions.

  Also known as Leaf Salicylate, this fragrance material offers a smooth green aroma reminiscent of fresh foliage, combined with subtle floral characteristics associated with lily of the valley, ylang-ylang, and frangipani-style compositions.

  Unlike sharper, highly volatile green aroma materials, Cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate provides a softer and more persistent green effect, making it particularly useful for connecting fresh leafy notes with the floral heart and background of a fragrance.

  It is especially valuable in modern floral bouquets, green floral perfumes, rose compositions, muguet accords, fruity-green fragrances, and natural-inspired perfume concepts.

  Its tenacious character can help support the lasting impression of floral notes while contributing subtle freshness, smoothness, and depth to the overall fragrance composition.

  Cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate is a useful ingredient when creating fragrances inspired by blooming gardens, green leaves, fresh flowers, spring mornings, and elegant botanical environments.

  Whether you are creating a fresh floral eau de parfum, a delicate green accord, or experimenting with complex fragrance combinations, this aroma chemical offers flexibility for creative fragrance development.

  Usage Guidelines

  Cis-3-Hexenyl Salicylate should be used as a component of a properly developed fragrance formula.

  As an exploratory perfumery reference, ingredient manufacturers describe typical incorporation levels of approximately 0.3%–5% of a fragrance composition. These are formulation references rather than guaranteed safe use levels in a finished consumer product.

  For initial evaluation, prepare a suitably diluted laboratory sample and assess the odour on a fragrance blotter before incorporating the material into a larger formula.

  The maximum permitted concentration in a finished product depends on applicable IFRA requirements, the product category, the full composition, and relevant regulations.

  Avoid applying the undiluted material directly to skin.

  Storage Instructions

  Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, heat, and incompatible materials.

  Protect from unnecessary exposure to air and moisture. Keep away from children and use appropriate protective equipment while handling.

  Important: For fragrance formulation use. Not intended for direct application to the skin in concentrated form.
