Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented products due to its fruity, floral, and slightly waxy odor profile. It serves as a synthetic intermediate in the preparation of complex aroma compounds, contributing to the formulation of artificial flavors and cosmetic fragrances. Its stability and odor characteristics make it suitable for use in soaps, detergents, lotions, and fine fragrances where a long-lasting scent is desired. Also employed in small quantities to mimic natural fruit scents in flavoring applications, though its use is limited to trace levels due to potency.
