Should I buy (expensive) Liffarome and/or (equally expensive) cis-3-Hexenyl Acetate? (if I already have the following...)

I have cis-3-Hexenyl Tiglate and Verdox.
I also have other green materials like cis-3-Hexenol, Stemone, Triplal, Galbex, Trifernal, Trans-2-Hexenal, etc. but I think those are quite different; much more pungent, very green and not or less fruity.

Both Liffarome and cis-3-Hexenyl acetate are quite expensive here at Hekserij (€ 17,50 for 10 ml; that's almost $ 19,- for 10ml each).
My question: can cis-3-Hexenyl acetate be used as a substitute for Liffarome (or vice versa)? If so: which of the two should I add to my palette?

Or could one of the other materials mentioned above be used as a substitute for Liffarome and/or cis-3-Hexenyl acetate?

If you don't have cis-3-hexenyl acetate, you should get that first. It is more versatile and has many functions - perhaps more than the alcohol even. But eventually get some liffarome (cis 3 hexenyl methyl carbonate). It's a lovely product and can be helpful when you need a soft green note with a fruity touch.

Thanks. I was afraid for an answer like this ;)
In that case I know what to do: cancel my vacation to the Bahamas.

Liffarome is a very strong material 5ml is a lot to play with for a long time (I dilute it to 1% and still strong) so you do not need to buy a big quantity.
As if Liffarome can be substituted with cis 3 hexeny acetate, no it can't, at least for me they smell totally different.
