Odorant composition containing allyl ethers as odorant precursors

An odorant composition, containing an odorant precursor, which is an allyl ether of the formula (I),

• R1R2C═CR3—CR4R5—O—CHR6R7 (I),
• in which the residues R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7 mutually independently in each case denote H or a hydrocarbon residue that can be acyclic or cyclic, substituted or unsubstituted, branched or unbranched, as well as saturated or unsaturated, and in which individual residues R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 can form a ring system with one another,
• wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 denote residues that, in a compound of the general formula (II)
• R1R2CH—CR3═CR4R5 (II),
• give rise to an odorant,
• wherein R6 and R7 denote residues that, in a compound of the general formula (III)
• R6R7C═O (III),
• give rise to an odorant,
