Used in fragrance formulations for its woody, floral, and slightly citrus-like aroma. It serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of aroma chemicals, particularly in creating musk-like scents for perfumes, soaps, and cosmetics. Its stability and ability to enhance scent longevity make it valuable in fine fragrances and functional products such as detergents and fabric softeners. Also employed in the development of pheromone analogs and other specialty chemicals for the flavor and fragrance industry.
