- 5. A perfuming composition or a perfumed article containing as an active perfuming ingredient a compound according to claim 1.
- 6. A perfuming composition or a perfumed article containing as an active perfuming ingredient
- a) (+)-(1'R,3S,6'S)-1-(2',2',6'-trimethyl-1'-cyclohexyl)-3-hexanol or
- b) (+)-(1'R,3'S,6'S)-1-(2',2',3',6'-tetramethyl-1'-cyclohexyl)-3-hexanol.
- 7. In a method to confer, improve, enhance or modify the odor character of a perfuming composition or a perfumed article, which comprises adding to said composition or article a fragrance effective amount of 1-(2',2',c-3',t-6'-tetramethyl-r-1'-cyclohexyl)-3-hexanol, the improvement therein which consists in adding a preponderant amount of said hexanol in the form of its (+)-(1'R,3'S,6'S) isomer.
- 8. In a method to confer, improve, enhance or modify the odor character of a perfuming composition or a perfumed article, which comprises adding to said composition or article a fragrance effective amount of trans-1-(2,2,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexyl)-3-hexanol, the improvement therein which consists in adding a preponderant amount of said hexanol in the form of its (+)-(1'R,3S,6'S) isomer.
- 9. A method to enhance or improve the woody character imparted to a perfuming composition or to a perfumed article upon addition of a fragrance effective amount of trans-1-(2,2,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexyl)-3-hexanol, which method comprises adding a preponderant amount of said hexanol in the form of its (+)-(1'R,3S,6'S) isomer.
- 10. A method to confer, improve, enhance or modify the odor character of a perfuming composition or a perfumed article, which comprises adding to said composition or article a fragrance effective amount of a compound obtained by reacting a hydroxy-sulfone of formula ##STR22## wherein R stands for an alkyl or aryl radical, with an agent capable of the reductive cleavage of the sulfonyl group and subsequently separating said compound from the reaction product.
- 11. A method according to claim 10 wherein said symbol R in the formula of said hydroxy-sulfone stands for a phenyl radical and said hydroxy-sulfone is reacted with lithium naphthalide.
- 12. A perfuming composition or a perfumed article resulting from the method according to claim 7.
- 13. A perfumed article according to claim 5, in the form of a perfume or Cologne, a soap, a bath or shower gel, a shampoo or hair conditioner, a body deodorant, a cosmetic preparation, a detergent or fabric softener, an air freshener or a household product.
- 14. A perfuming composition or a perfumed article resulting from the method according to claim 8.
- 15. A perfuming composition or a perfumed article resulting from the method according to claim 9.
- 16. A perfuming composition or a perfumed article resulting from the method according to claim 10.
- 17. A perfumed article according to claim 6 in the form of a perfume or Cologne, a soap, a bath or shower gel, a shampoo or hair conditioner, a body deodorant, a cosmetic preparation, a detergent or fabric softener, an air freshener or a household product.
- 18. (+)-(1'R,3S,6'S)-1-(2',2',6'-trimethyl-1'-cyclohexyl)-3-hexanol having both chemical and optical purity above 99%.
- 19. (+)-(1'R,3'S,6'S)-1-(2',2',3',6'-tetramethyl-1'-cyclohexyl)-3-hexanol having an optical purity above 98%.
- 20. The compound of claim 1 in the form of an optically active mixture of C(3) epimers of (+)-(1'R,6'S)-1-(2',2',6'-trimethyl-1'-cyclohexyl)-3-hexanol.
- 21. The compound of claim 1 in the form of an optically active mixture of C(3) epimers of (+)-(1'R,3'S,6'S)-1-(2',2',3',6'-tetramethyl-1'-cyclohexyl)-3-hexanol.
