A soft fruity-green ester with a fatty, slightly waxy character reminiscent of unripe pear and apple skin. Mild and diffusive, with a clean oily-green undertone that gives fruit accords a natural, juicy feel without sharpness.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Colorless oily liquid.
Insoluble in water, soluble in alcohol and oils.
Fresh-green, but rather weedy, more sharp-sour-green than ordinary leafy odor, yet with sweet-juicy undertones. The green notes have been compared to those of freshly cut stems of hollyhock. Other observers find a violet-leaf note. The overall impression is that of a rather unpleasant greenness, from a perfumery point of view.
The subject ester has been suggested for use in perfume compositions. The author feels, however, that there is little, if any, place for this fragrance picture in perfumery. Rare applications may include those of artificial essential oils, or novel notes in green topnote complexes.
Produced by direct esterification of n-Hexanol with n-Heptanoic acid under azeotropic conditions.
