A process for the preparation of 1-(2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexyl)-hexan-3-ol of the formula A having a content of at least 30 wt. % of the corresponding trans isomer, based on the total amount of 1-(2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexyl)-hexan-3-ol of the formula A, with the following step: Catalytic hydrogenation of a compound of the formula D in which the broken lines represent a single double bond which is located in one of the three positions drawn in, in the presence of a rhodium catalyst to give 1-(2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexyl)-hexan-3-ol of the formula A.
