Addition of one or more of the 2,6,6-trimethyl- alpha -(iso)propenyl-1-cyclohexene-1-methanols or -1,3-cyclohexadiene-1-methanols of our invention to consumable materials is indicated to produce: A. In foodstuffs, chewing gums, toothpastes and medicinal products, sweet, camphoraceous, damascenone, raspberry-like, raspberry juice-like, rosey, woody/ionone-like, oriental, tobacco-like, tea-like, grape-like, fruity and ionone-like aromas and flavor notes; B.
