Used in perfumery for its sweet, floral, and fruity aroma with balsamic undertones, cinnamyl acetate is a popular ingredient in fragrance compositions for soaps, cosmetics, and detergents. It adds a warm, spicy nuance and enhances the naturalness of floral scents like jasmine and lilac. In flavorings, it is employed in small amounts to impart cinnamon-like, cherry, or apple notes to food products and beverages. Due to its pleasant odor and relative stability, it is also found in scented candles and air fresheners. Its use is generally limited to low concentrations because of potential skin sensitization in some individuals.
