Definicija

Crushed stem, raw leaf juice, the iron-tinged green of a freshly mown lawn. Chlorophyll in perfumery is the smell of photosynthesis itself -- vegetal, slightly metallic, alive.

Miris

Raw, juicy green -- the smell of crushed stems and torn leaves before any single plant character emerges. Sharper than basil, less bitter than galbanum, with a faintly metallic, almost bloody quality (from the iron in chlorophyll's breakdown products). This is green at its most elemental: a lawn mower, a snapped stem, a handful of grass.

Detaljno

Chlorophyll itself -- the magnesium-porphyrin pigment responsible for photosynthesis -- has no significant odour. What perfumery calls 'chlorophyll' is the complex of volatile compounds released when plant cells rupture: cis-3-hexenol (leaf alcohol), cis-3-hexenal (leaf aldehyde), trans-2-hexenal, and various related C6 aldehydes and alcohols known collectively as green leaf volatiles (GLVs).

These GLVs are produced enzymatically within seconds of tissue damage -- the same biochemical cascade triggered by mowing grass, tearing herbs, or crushing leaves. The scent is universal across the plant kingdom: nearly all green plants produce the same core molecules. In perfumery, 'chlorophyll' is shorthand for this hyper-green, freshly-cut-plant impression.

The note functions as a top-note green modifier. It provides an immediate, raw vegetal impact -- greener than galbanum (which is also resinous), sharper than violet leaf (which is also powdery). Key synthetic materials: cis-3-hexenol (leaf alcohol), cis-3-hexenyl acetate (leaf acetate), cis-3-hexenyl salicylate. The note dissipates quickly due to high volatility.

Zanimljivosti

The 'freshly cut grass' smell is actually a plant distress signal. Cis-3-hexenal and cis-3-hexenol are released within seconds of tissue damage and serve to attract predatory insects that feed on herbivores attacking the plant -- a chemical SOS call.

Dobijanje i hemija

Način dobijanja

Chlorophyll the pigment is not extracted for perfumery. The green-leaf volatile profile is achieved synthetically: cis-3-hexenol (CAS 928-96-1), cis-3-hexenyl acetate (CAS 3681-71-8), and related C6 green-leaf compounds.

U parfemima

Chlorophyll in perfumery refers to green leaf volatiles (GLVs), not the pigment itself. It functions as a top-note green modifier providing raw, freshly-cut-plant character. Key molecules: cis-3-hexenol (leaf alcohol), cis-3-hexenyl acetate, trans-2-hexenal. The note is greener and rawer than galbanum or violet leaf, but highly volatile with minimal tenacity. Essential in green, aquatic, and fresh compositions for immediate vegetal impact.
