Used in fragrance formulations for its woody, amber-like aroma, particularly in perfumes and scented cosmetics. It serves as a natural additive in essential oil blends due to its pleasant olfactory properties, adding depth and complexity to woody, herbal, or oriental scents. Also investigated for potential antimicrobial activity in plant-based preservatives. Its stability under various pH conditions makes it suitable for use in soaps and lotions. Additionally, it has potential as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex chemical structures in organic chemistry and pharmaceutical research.
