A synthetic unsaturated alcohol fragrance with a green-floral character that is used at low levels in cosmetic fragrances.

Trimethyl-3-nonenol is a synthetic fragrance alcohol characterized by a trimethyl-substituted nonene chain with a terminal hydroxyl group. The double bond and methyl substitution pattern create a distinctive green, floral, and slightly citrusy scent profile. Unsaturated alcohols generally have good skin tolerance, and this compound is not subject to EU restrictions. As a newer synthetic fragrance, full long-term sensitization data may be limited.
