Used in the fragrance industry as a key intermediate for synthesizing aroma compounds, particularly in creating violet and woody scent notes. Its structure allows for oxidation to form aldehydes and ketones that enhance perfume stability and scent profile. Also utilized in the production of specialty chemicals for flavorings due to its pleasant, earthy odor. Commonly found in soaps, detergents, and cosmetics where a natural-like floral aroma is desired.
