Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented consumer products. It imparts a sweet, fruity, maple-like, or caramelized odor, making it valuable in creating complex scent profiles for soaps, detergents, cosmetics, and fine fragrances. Often employed to enhance vanilla, maple, or burnt sugar accords, it adds warmth and depth to a fragrance composition. Its stability in various pH environments and compatibility with other fragrance components make it suitable for use in both household and personal care formulations.
