Descriptions

Comment (FraterWork)

This simple alcohol captures the essence of freshly mown grass with remarkable accuracy. However, unlike harsh green notes, Alcohol C-6 provides a softer, more diffuse greenness that evokes lush foliage and garden freshness. Its under-ripe fruit character is crucial—this isn't sweet jamminess, but the crisp tartness of green apple skin or firm pear. The material's fatty and waxy undertones provide essential texture, mimicking the feel of fruit skin or flower petals. A subtle winey quality emerges at higher concentrations, adding fermented complexity that prevents compositions from smelling flat. This fusel oil character becomes an asset when creating realistic wine or cognac accords. Use this when you need to add life and naturalness without overwhelming other notes. Its extremely short substantivity means it works as a top note modifier, creating a "tender atmosphere" that enhances floral realism. At higher concentrations, it becomes structural for crisp fruit accords. aromachem Best Seller
