Cis-3-Hexenol (10% in DPG) is a pre-diluted form of the famous “leaf alcohol”, known for its fresh-cut grass aroma and vivid green, herbal, slightly fruity profile. This molecule is widely used to create naturalistic, dewy-green top notes, especially in floral, herbal, tea-like, and citrus compositions. This 10% dilution in DPG (Dipropylene Glycol) makes it easy to incorporate into oil-based perfumes, attars, sprays, incense blends, and solid perfumes.

Even in small amounts, Cis-3-Hexenol brings realistic, bright greenness to fragrances—evoking crushed stems, spring gardens, and freshly cut herbs.

Use 0.5–3% of this dilution to add freshness and crushed-leaf character to any top-heavy or floral composition. Excellent for natural, outdoor, or “green tea” themed perfumes.
