Used in the fragrance industry as a key intermediate for synthesizing aroma chemicals, particularly in creating floral and fruity scent profiles. Its aldehyde functionality contributes to fresh, green, and sweet olfactory notes, making it valuable in perfumery formulations. Also employed in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals due to its reactive structure, which allows for further chemical modifications. Commonly found in fine fragrances, soaps, detergents, and cosmetics where stable and pleasant scent characteristics are required.
