Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products due to its pleasant, fruity, or waxy odor. It helps enhance the scent profile in perfumes, lotions, and creams. Also functions as a flavoring agent in food products, imparting fruity or creamy notes. Its ester structure contributes to good stability and low volatility, making it suitable for long-lasting fragrance applications. Occasionally used in industrial lubricants or plasticizers where mild odor and biodegradability are desired.
