About
A bridged ketone (cyclohexylidene cyclohexanone) used as a fragrance ingredient with woody, amber, and camphoraceous notes.
Cyclohexylidenecyclohexanone is a dimeric ketone formed from two cyclohexanone units joined by a double bond, functioning as a fragrance ingredient with woody, amber, and camphoraceous notes. The compound is chemically stable due to the saturated ring system and conjugated carbonyl. It is not individually listed on EU Annex II or III restrictions and carries no GHS hazard statements. Its cyclic ketone structure provides substantivity in fragrance applications, contributing to long-lasting odor profiles.
