Descriptions
Comment (FraterWork)
This green ester (a material made when an acid is reacted with an alcohol - in
this case Cis-3 Hexenol and Propionic acid) captures something extraordinary—not
just the smell of fruit, but its tactile quality. When you encounter this
material, you immediately recognise the waxy skin of a fresh apple or unripe
pear. This textural element separates it from basic fruity esters that smell
flat and confectionary.
This material transforms ordinary fruit accords into photorealistic experiences.
Its waxy character prevents compositions from becoming overly sweet or
artificial, whilst the green-leafy backbone connects seamlessly to floral
hearts. You can use it to create the impression of biting into crisp fruit or
walking through a dewy orchard at dawn.
Apply this when you need precision over power. Its strength lies in refinement—a
few drops can shift an entire accord from synthetic to natural. Build your pear
and apple notes around this foundation or use traces to add sophisticated
texture to tropical fruit compositions.
If you want to make a hyper-realistic pear, this is a must have in combination
with Pear Ester [https://fraterworks.com/products/pear-ester] and a sneaky trace
of Safraleine [https://fraterworks.com/products/safraleine] to boost that gritty
pear flesh texture. Try it - you won't believe how real it is!
If you need help understanding the very complex myriad of leaf alcohol esters,
