Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products due to its pleasant, mild aromatic profile. It is commonly found in perfumes, lotions, and scented consumer goods where a stable, long-lasting scent is desired. Its ester structure contributes to good volatility balance, making it effective in both top and middle notes of fragrance formulations. Additionally, it serves as a flavoring agent in some food products, providing fruity or floral notes in trace amounts. The compound is valued for its low irritation potential and stability under various formulation conditions.
