In the title mol-ecule, C14H17NO, the 5,5-di-methyl-cyclo-hex-2-enone moiety is attached to an aniline group, the dihedral angle subtended [54.43 (3)°] indicating a significant twist. The hexaneone ring has a half-chair conformation with the C atom bearing two methyl groups lying 0.6384 (8) Å above the plane of the five remaining atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0107 Å). The crystal packing can be described as alternating layers parallel to (-101), which are consolidated by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
