Used in perfumery and flavoring due to its strong, sweet, floral-herbaceous aroma with green and spicy nuances. Commonly employed as a fragrance ingredient in soaps, detergents, and cosmetics for its fresh, aldehydic scent. Also serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of more complex aromatic compounds and pharmaceuticals. Its conjugated aldehyde structure makes it useful in condensation reactions and the development of fine chemicals.
