Used in the fragrance industry for its floral, slightly woody aroma, this compound is commonly found in perfumes, cosmetics, and scented personal care products. It contributes to the scent profile of rose and geranium-based fragrances. Due to its volatile nature and pleasant odor, it is valued as a fragrance additive in soaps, lotions, and air fresheners. It may also serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of other aroma chemicals or as a flavoring agent in trace amounts in food products, where permitted.
