(-)-(3R,5Z)-3-methylcyclopentadec-5-en-1-one - Strong and pure smell of musk with some sweaty notes. Also described as strongly musky with nitromusk aspects. It should be noted that the most precious isomers of the perfume component “Muscenone” (Firmenich SA) are the (Z)- and (E)-5-muscenones. The (Z)-isomer is particularly appreciated for its better top note and its nitromusk character..
