About
An unsaturated acetate ester delivering green, melon, and cucumber-like aromatic notes. Structurally similar to other non-enyl acetates used in green fragrance compositions, with a favorable safety profile at normal use levels.
Cis-6-nonenyl acetate is the acetate ester of cis-6-nonen-1-ol, an unsaturated C9 alcohol found naturally in cucumber, melon, and roses. The acetate ester is used in perfumery to recreate these fresh, watery-green odor notes. The compound has been evaluated by IFRA and is considered safe at standard fragrance use concentrations. No EU Annex restrictions apply to this specific ingredient, and it has a long history of use in both flavor and fragrance applications with no significant safety concerns at normal levels.
