Used in perfumery for its sweet, spicy, carnation-like aroma with woody and balsamic nuances. It serves as a fragrance ingredient in soaps, detergents, cosmetics, and fine fragrances due to its stability and pleasant scent. Also employed as a flavoring agent in food products where a warm, clove-like note is desired. Its olefinic structure allows it to act as an intermediate in the synthesis of other fragrance compounds. Commonly found in floral fragrance compositions, especially those mimicking rose, carnation, or lilac scents.
