Widely used in the fragrance industry, this compound is a key ingredient in creating warm, sweet, spicy, and tea-like aromatic notes. It is commonly found in perfumes, scented cosmetics, and personal care products due to its long-lasting scent profile. Its aroma resembles that of black tea and tobacco, making it valuable for oriental, amber, and gourmand fragrance families. It is also used in flavor compositions to impart a natural, slightly roasted nuance in food and beverage applications, particularly in enhancing tea, fruit, and nutty flavors. Due to its stability and low volatility, it serves as a fixative, helping other volatile aroma compounds last longer in formulations.
