In perfumery, few materials capture the raw, invigorating scent of nature like Cis-3-Hexenol. Often called Leaf Alcohol, this molecule is the very definition of green freshness — evoking the crisp scent of freshly cut grass, crushed green leaves, and snapped garden stems.
At Luscent Labs, we supply high-quality Cis-3-Hexenol in 10g, 30g, 50g, 1kg, and 5kg pack sizes, perfect for perfumers and product formulators alike.
Cis-3-Hexenol (CAS No. 928-96-1) is a naturally occurring alcohol found in green leaves, herbs, and fruits. In nature, it acts as a volatile plant compound released when leaves are damaged — responsible for that instantly recognizable scent of freshly mown grass or torn foliage.
