Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient due to its strong, characteristic odor. It imparts a fresh, citrusy, and slightly fatty scent with green and floral nuances, making it valuable in perfumery for creating natural-smelling compositions. Commonly found in soaps, detergents, and fine fragrances to enhance freshness and add complexity. Also used in flavor formulations at low concentrations to contribute citrus and fruit-like notes in food and beverages. Its sensory properties make it useful in enhancing the perception of cleanliness in consumer products.
