Used in the fragrance industry for its fresh, floral, and slightly citrus-like odor. It is commonly employed as a flavoring agent in food products and in perfumery to enhance fruity and floral notes. Due to its unsaturated alcohol structure, it can also serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of fine chemicals and specialty esters for cosmetics. Its cis-configuration contributes to a more natural and desirable scent profile compared to the trans-isomer.
