in the form of any one of its stereoisomers or as a mixture thereof, wherein R represents a C 2-8 alkenyl or C 4-8 alkadienyl group.

9 . A perfuming composition comprising

i) at least one compound of formula (I), as defined in claim 8 ;

ii) at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of a perfumery carrier and a perfumery base; and

iii) optionally at least one perfumery adjuvant.

10 . A perfumed consumer product comprising at least one compound of formula (I), as defined in claim 9 .

11 . The perfumed consumer product according to claim 10 , characterized in that the perfumery consumer product is a perfume, a fabric care product, a body-care product, a cosmetic preparation, a skin-care product, an air care product or a home care product.
