Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics due to its pleasant, fruity-floral odor. It is commonly found in soaps, detergents, and scented personal care products for its ability to enhance and stabilize scent profiles. Also employed as a flavoring agent in food products where its ester characteristics contribute to sweet, fruity notes. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic compounds, particularly in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.
