Used in the fragrance and flavor industry as a key intermediate for synthetic fragrances, particularly in floral-scented perfumes due to its sweet, balsamic, and honey-like aroma. Commonly employed in soaps, detergents, and cosmetics for scent formulation. Also serves as a building block in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and UV-absorbing compounds. Its trans-configuration enhances stability and odor profile, making it preferred in high-quality aromatic applications.
