Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrances and flavoring agents due to its characteristic mild, floral, and slightly fruity odor. It serves as a building block in the production of esters that are employed in perfumery for enhancing scent longevity and complexity. Also utilized in the formulation of specialty chemicals for consumer products such as soaps, detergents, and cosmetics where a stable, pleasant aroma is desired. Its branched-chain structure contributes to low volatility and improved olfactory performance in fragrance blends.
