Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented products due to its fatty, waxy, and slightly floral odor profile. It contributes to the development of green, natural, and fresh scent accords in fine fragrances, cosmetics, and household products. Also employed in flavor compositions to impart fatty, tallow-like notes in trace amounts, enhancing realism in fruit and dairy flavor systems. Its long hydrocarbon chain makes it suitable for use in slow-evaporating fragrance formulations, providing stability and longevity.
