The compounds of formula (I) in which the symbols R<1>, R<2>, R<3> and R<4> represent independently from each other a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl group, the symbol X represents an oxygen atom or an alkylene group of formula (A) in which n is an integer from 1 to 3, the symbols R<6> and R<7> represent each a hydrogen atom or a methyl or ethyl group, and R<5> represents an alkyl or alkoxy group from C1 to C4, linear or branched, an alkenyl group from C2 to C4, linear or branched, or a group of formula: -(O)C-Y-R8 in which Y has the same meaning as X and R<8> is a linear or branched alkyl group from C1 to C4 or a linear or branched alkenyl group from C2 to C4, are novel compounds showing musky odors and which confer musky-velvety, voluminous and very tenacious notes to the products to which they are added. |
