A compound of formula (I),
- wherein one dotted line represents a single or a double bond and two dotted lines represent single bonds, n is 0 or 1, R1 is a C3 to C8 alkyl or alkenyl group, and said compound is in the form of any of its diastereoisomers or of a mixture thereof;
- provided that 2-(5-hexenyl)-cyclohexanecarbonitrile, 2-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)-cyclohexanecarbonitrile, 2-(4-methyl-3-pentenyl)-cyclohexanecarbonitrile, 2-(2-methyl-2-propenyl)-cylohexanecarbonitrile, 2-(1,2-dimethyl-2-propenyl)-cyclohexanecarbonitrile and 2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-cyclohexanecarbonitrile are excluded.
A method to confer, enhance, improve or modify the odor properties of a perfuming composition or of a perfumed article, which method comprises adding to the composition or article an effective amount of at least a compound of formula (I):
- wherein one dotted line represents a single or a double bond and two dotted lines represent single bonds, n is 0 or 1, R1 is a C3 to C8 alkyl or alkenyl group, and the compound is in the form of any of its diastereoisomers or of a mixture thereof.
