What does 3,6-Nonadienyl acetate smell like?

TGSC types it green at medium odour strength and describes it as sweet, waxy, fresh, green, melon, fruity, pear and cucumber, with a matching fresh green waxy melon pear taste, and records a strip life of 48 hours neat. Bedoukian show BRI 338 in their 2026 fragrance range as a material that brings fruity and floral fresh top notes. In a formula it is the soft green lift that sits between a violet-leaf green and a melon-cucumber freshness: rounder, sweeter and far less aggressive than the parent 3,6-nonadienol, so it can open a fruity-floral or an aquatic accord with a juicy natural edge without the cut-grass bite the alcohol brings.

Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 569 materials carrying no CAS number the 244 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
