Uses in perfumery :
Trans-2-cis-6-Nonadienol is used to make artificial violet leaf notes and in woody perfumes. It can also be useful to bring a strong mimosa top note. This molecule is used in very low quantity as it is very powerful, and it is diluted before usage.
Other names :
cucumber alcohol, violet leaf alcohol, alcool concombre, alcool feuille de violette, (E)-2-(Z)-6-nonadienol, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienol, trans-2-cis-6-nonadien-1-ol, E)-2-(Z)-6-nonadien-1-ol, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadien-1-ol, nona-2,6-dienol, nona-2,6-dien-1-ol, (Z,E)-nona-2,6-dienol, (Z,E)-nona-2,6-dien-1-ol
Other comments :
In comparision to Trans-2-cis-6-Nonadienal, both molecules have a common violet leaf usage, but Trans-2-cis-6-Nonadienol still has a more floral and soft touch.
Both raw materials are also very costly.
