How we scored it

Synthetic aroma chemical built from petrochemical heptyne, allyl and carbonate fragments; no natural isolation route exists.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.

Where it comes from

Manufactured synthetically from petrochemical heptyne and allyl alcohol derivatives via carbonate ester formation. No natural essential-oil source is commercially used.

In plain English

A man-made fragrance ingredient that gives a green, violet-leaf scent note. It does not occur in nature and is produced entirely by chemical synthesis.
