Described are compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR1## wherein Z represents meta or para cyclohexylene or meta or para phenylene and wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different methyl or hydrogen; and wherein R.sub.3 represents C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl; and wherein the moiety: ##STR2## is ortho with respect to R.sub.2 and para or meta with respect to the moiety: ##STR3## with the proviso that the sum of the number of carbon atoms in R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is 3 or 4; and uses thereof in augmenting or enhancing the aroma of perfume compositions, colognes and perfumed articles including but not limited to solid or liquid anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic detergents, fabric softener compositions, fabric softener articles and hair preparations; as well as processes for preparing alkyl-substituted-C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkoxy-C.sub.6 -cycloaliphatic compounds.

Alkyl-substituted -C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkoxy-C.sub.6 -cycloaliphatic

Described are cyclopropyl carboxylic acid esters defined according to the structure: ##STR1## or the structure: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 is cis-3-hexenyl or cyclohexyl methyl and R.sub.2 is one of n-hexyl, cis-3-hexenyl, cyclohexyl methyl or n-heptyl and uses thereof in augmenting, enhancing or imparting aromas in or to perfume compositions, colognes and perfumed articles. The compounds having the structure: ##STR3## are novel compounds.

Cyclopropyl carboxylic acid esters and uses thereof in imparting,

Alkyl-substituted-C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkoxy-C.sub.6 -cycloaliphatic

Described are compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR1## wherein Z represents para cyclohexylene or para phenylene and wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are the same or different methyl or hydrogen; and wherein R.sub.4 represents hydrogen, methyl or ethyl with the proviso that the sum of the carbon atoms in R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 is 2. Also described are para-C.sub.5 alkyl-substituted ethoxycyclohexanes defined according to the structure: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 represent the same or different methyl or hydrogen; and wherein R.sub.4 represents hydrogen, methyl or ethyl with the proviso that the sum of the carbon atoms in R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 is 2 and uses thereof in augmenting or enhancing the aroma of perfume compositions, colognes and perfumed articles including but not limited to solid or liquid anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic detergents, fabric softener compositions, fabric softener articles and hair preparations; as well as processes for preparing said para-C.sub.5 alkyl-substituted ethoxycyclohexanes.
