Abstract: The present invention primarily relates to the use of 3-(4-isobutyl-2-methyl-cyclohexyl)pro-panal, 3-(4-Isobutyl-6-methyl-cyclohexa-1,5-dien-1-yl)propanal, 3-(4-isobutyl-6-meth-ylene-cyclohexen-1-yl)propanal, or 3-(4-isobutyl-6-methyl-cyclohexen-1-yl)propanal as perfuming ingredients. Moreover, the present invention relates to perfume compositions and perfumed products comprising the before mentioned perfuming ingredients. Still more particularly, the invention relates to a method for producing said perfumed products and a method of imparting and/or increasing i) floral and/or ii) green and/or iii) lily of the valley odor characteristics to perfumed products. This invention also relates to 3-(4-isobutyl-2-methyl-cyclohexyl)propanal, 3-(4-Isobutyl-6-methyl-cyclohexa-1,5-dien-1-yl)propanal, 3-(4-isobutyl-6-methylene-cyclohexen-1-yl)propanal, or 3-(4-isobutyl-6-methyl-cyclohexen-yl)propanal and a process for the preparation of said compounds.

Abstract: The present invention primarily relates to the use of a compound according to the general formula (I) wherein i) m is 1, n is 1, o is 0 or 1, Y is Hydrogen, or ii) m is 2, n is 0, o is 1, Y is methyl, and wherein X is O or methylene, R and R1 are each methyl or form together with the carbon atom attached to a carbonyl group, and R2 is methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, butan-2-one-4-yl, tetrahydrofuran-2-yl, or tetrahydrofuran-3-yl, as perfuming ingredients. Moreover, the present invention relates to perfume compositions and perfumed products comprising the before mentioned perfuming ingredients. Still more particularly, the invention relates to a method for producing said perfumed products and a method of imparting and/or increasing musk odor characteristics to perfumed products.
