A fragrance composition comprising a compound represented by Formula (1) as an active ingredient: ##STR00001## wherein, in Formula (1), R.sup.1 represents a linear, branched, or cyclic alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms.

Disclosed are fragrance accords each containing (i) at least 7 wt % of one or more Class 1 fragrance ingredients, (ii) 5 to 85 wt % of one or more Class 2 fragrance ingredients, and (iii) 0 to 80 wt % of one or more Class 3 fragrance ingredients. The Classes 1, 2, and 3 fragrance ingredients are defined by experimental velocity. Also disclosed are delivery systems and consumer products containing such a fragrance accord.

The present invention relates to the use of (3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-propyl) acetate for enhancing and/or modifying the aroma of (3-acetoxy-2,2-dimethyl-propyl) acetate. The invention further relates to the use of (3-acetoxy-2,2-dimethyl-propyl) acetate in combination with (3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-propyl) acetate as an aroma chemical and for enhancing and/or modifying the aroma of a composition. The present invention further relates to compositions comprising (3-acetoxy-2,2-dimethyl-propyl) acetate combined with (3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-propyl) acetate and at least one aroma chemical and/or at least one non-aroma chemical carrier.

The present invention relates to the use of a composition containing 1,8-para-menthenethiol and 3-mercaptohexyl acetate, such as a plant extract and in particular an extract of timur (Zanthoxylum armatum), as odor-masking agent. It also relates to a deodorizing product in the form of an aerosol, candle, or electrical or wick fragrance diffuser, containing this composition.

Described herein are compounds that are able to generate oct-2-en-4-one and thus to provide a long-lasting or substantive strawberry odor to an environment. Also described herein is a method of imparting a long-lasting strawberry odor to surfaces, such as hard surfaces, fabric, skin or hair. Also described herein is a method of using said compounds in perfumery. Also described herein are perfuming compositions or perfumed articles including the compounds.
