| abstract |
The invention relates to 3,3-dimethylcyclohexane derivatives of the general structure (I), wherein the broken line, which binds the carbon atoms that are in the alpha - and beta position in relation to the aldehyde group, represents a C-C single bond or a cis- or trans-configured C=C double bond. Said derivatives are characterized by interesting and original fragrance characteristics which diffuse extremely well and are suitable for use as perfumes, for example in cosmetic preparations, technical products or alcohol-based perfumery. |
