Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented consumer products due to its sweet, floral, and woody aroma. It is valued in the formulation of soaps, detergents, cosmetics, and air fresheners for its ability to impart long-lasting scent and enhance overall olfactory profiles. Its stability under alkaline conditions makes it particularly suitable for use in soap-based products. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and other aromatic compounds in specialty chemical manufacturing. Furthermore, it is studied in materials science and photochemistry research due to its specific light absorption properties in certain wavelength ranges.
