Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A green, cucumber-violet fragrance ester. Unsaturated, so it oxidizes over time — standard caveat for aldehyde/dienyl fragrance materials.
2-trans,6-trans-Nonadienyl acetate (CAS 67674-47-9) is a diene-containing acetate ester used in perfumery for green, cucumber, and violet leaf-style notes. The two conjugated/homoconjugated C=C bonds make it prone to oxidation and peroxide formation, requiring antioxidant protection in finished product. RIFM/IFRA cover the nonadiene fragrance family. No EU Annex II listing. Trace-level use in finished fragrance keeps consumer exposure low.
