Calone or methylbenzodioxepinone, is trade-named "Calone 1951 ®", was discovered by Pfizer in 1966. It is used to give the olfactory impression of a fresh seashore through the marine nuances. Calone is similar in structure of certain linear and alicyclic C11-hydrocarbons excreted by some species of brown algae as pheromones.

Calone is an unusual odorant which has a intense "sea-breeze" note with floral overtones and is the basis of several perfumes of the marine trend, beginning in the 1990's.
