The "green" note in fragrances comes from specific chemical compounds that occur in higher concentrations in unripe fruit and decrease as the fruit ripens. It chemically freezes a specific moment in the fruit's life.
Although it sounds contradictory, synthetic ingredients such as 1,6-Heptadien-3-one, 2-cyclohexyl- can be more environmentally friendly than natural extracts because they do not require large cultivation areas or excessive use of water and pesticides.
Perfumers often refer to green notes as the "air" of a fragrance composition, as they add freshness and vibrancy, balancing the heavier and sweeter notes of ripe fruit and flowers.
