A hindered saturated cyclic ketone of the woody-musky family. Smells soft, diffusive and slightly ambery-woody with a clean musky facet, low in top-note character and quite substantive on the blotter. Rounded and blending rather than assertive.AI · claude-opus-4-7

This ketone has been suggested for use in perfume compositions as a blender/modifier for Cyclamenaldehyde and Ionones, e.g. in Mimosa bases, and in delicately woody or woody-musky fragrance types. It performs well in soap, but it is rarely sold under its chemical name and is probably not well known as a fragrance chemical.
Produced by hydrogenation of 1-Methyl-4-iso-propyl propiophenone.
