Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products due to its fruity, banana-like odor. Commonly found in perfumes, soaps, lotions, and flavored consumer products where a sweet, tropical scent is desired. Its stability and pleasant aroma make it suitable for enhancing scent profiles in a variety of formulations. Also used in some flavor applications where a fruity note is needed, though its use is more prevalent in fragrances than in food.
