Used in perfumery for its sweet, floral, and fruity scent with balsamic undertones, cinnamyl acetate adds warmth and depth to fragrance compositions. It is commonly found in soaps, cosmetics, lotions, incense, scented candles, and household products like fabric softeners or cleaners for its pleasant aroma. Also used as a flavoring agent in food and beverage products to impart cinnamon-like, cherry, or apple notes. Its volatility makes it suitable for top to middle notes in fragrance formulations. Often blended with other esters and essential oils to enhance naturalness and balance in scents.
