Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented consumer products. Its long hydrocarbon chain contributes to a waxy, floral, and slightly fruity odor profile, making it valuable in creating complex scent compositions for fine fragrances, soaps, detergents, and cosmetics. It is also utilized as a solvent or carrier for other fragrance compounds due to its low volatility and good solubility properties. Its structural stability enhances the longevity of scents in various formulations.
