Used as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics and perfumery due to its sweet, floral, and slightly fruity odor. It is commonly found in soaps, lotions, and scented products to enhance aroma stability and provide a pleasant scent profile. Its ester structure contributes to good volatility balance, making it suitable for both top and middle notes in fragrance formulations. Also employed in flavor compositions for food additives, where it imparts a fruity character in trace amounts.
