Used primarily as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrances and flavor compounds, this chemical contributes to the creation of fresh, citrus-like, and green aromatic notes in perfumery. It is often involved in the production of aldehydic fragrance formulations, enhancing the brightness and diffusion of scents in soaps, detergents, cosmetics, and fine fragrances. Due to its aldehyde functional group and branched hydrocarbon structure, it imparts stability and a clean odor profile, making it valuable in high-performance scent applications.
