Scent

Clean, leafy, vegetal green. Like crushing a fresh leaf between your fingers -- bright and sappy without being aggressively raw. More naturalistic than synthetic green aldehydes, less powerful than pure leaf alcohol. A well-mannered green note for compositions that want freshness without harshness.

Evolution over time

Immediately

Bright leafy-green freshness, crushed stems

Softer vegetal warmth, naturalistic green

After a few days

Faint green trace, quickly fading

The Full Story

Pescagreen is a synthetic green note ingredient used in perfumery to create leafy, vegetal freshness. Green notes -- cis-3-hexenol (leaf alcohol), cis-3-hexenyl salicylate, and their relatives -- are among the most important tools for creating naturalistic, outdoor-feeling compositions.

Pescagreen contributes a clean, crisp green character that reads as freshly cut leaves or stems. It is designed to work in modern green compositions, herbal accords, and fig-leaf effects where naturalistic greenery is needed without the raw intensity of pure leaf alcohol.

The molecule is stable in typical fragrance applications and offers good blending properties with other green materials, florals, and citrus notes.

Did You Know?

Did you know?

The smell of 'freshly cut grass' is actually a chemical distress signal -- plants release volatile green compounds (hexanols and hexenals) when damaged, alerting neighboring plants to activate their chemical defenses.
