This invention provides a process for producing an epoxy compound industrially advantageously at low cost in a short process. Furthermore, this invention provides a novel fruity, camphoric, floral, amber or woody fragrance-, flavor- or scent-imparting composition containing said epoxy compound, and foods and drinks, perfumes, cosmetics and tobaccos containing said composition. The epoxy compound can be produced by letting an α-halocyclododecanone and an organic magnesium compound react with each other for Grignard reaction, hydrolyzing to obtain a halohydrin and letting the halohydrin and a base react with each other in the presence of an phase transfer catalyst or adding an aprotic polar solvent for reaction.
