Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented products due to its pleasant, fruity-floral odor profile. It is valued in cosmetic formulations, soaps, detergents, and personal care items for its ability to enhance and stabilize scent compositions. Its ester functionality contributes to good volatility balance, making it effective in both top and middle notes of fragrance blends. Also found in some flavoring applications where a soft fruity character is desired, though use in food is limited and subject to regulatory approval.
