Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products due to its pleasant, sweet, floral-woody scent. It is commonly found in perfumes, soaps, lotions, and detergents for its ability to enhance and stabilize fragrance formulations. Also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other aromatic compounds in fine chemical manufacturing. Its structural features make it suitable for use in flavoring agents where a fruity or balsamic note is desired, though such use is less common. Exhibits good stability under a range of pH and temperature conditions, making it reliable in various product matrices.
