What It Does
(Z)-3-Hexen-1-ol, commonly known as 'leaf alcohol', is a well-established, naturally occurring C6 aliphatic alcohol found in many green plants. It is a widely used fragrance raw material with a characteristic fresh-cut grass/green odor. CAS 928-96-1 is unambiguous and confirmed across PubChem, ECHA, and supplier databases. The INCI name follows EU CosIng nomenclature conventions. Usage levels in finished cosmetic fragrances are typically low (hundredths of a percent in the finished product) due to its potent odor character, though concentrations in the fragrance compound itself can be higher. Confidence is very high given the well-documented nature of this ingredient.
