Widely used in the fragrance industry, this compound is a key ingredient in creating warm, sweet, and maple-like aromas. It is commonly found in perfumes, scented candles, and air fresheners due to its long-lasting scent profile. Its aroma closely resembles that of burnt sugar or roasted nuts, making it valuable in flavor formulations for processed foods and beverages where a caramelized note is desired. It is also used in tobacco flavoring to enhance richness and depth. Due to its stability under various pH and temperature conditions, it performs well in both aqueous and oil-based systems.
