Abstract Various compounds are disclosed to be useful in the flavoring of tobacco products. Many of said compounds are also useful as odoriferous ingredients and/or as flavoring agents in general for foodstuffs, beverages and pharmaceutical preparations. The flavorants are cycloaliphatic ketones of which 4,4,6-trimethyl cyclohexa-2,5-dien-2-ol-1-one is an example. They are added in amounts of between 1 to 1000 parts per million parts of flavored product.
