Used primarily in fragrance and flavor formulations due to its sweet, floral, and slightly spicy aroma. It serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of perfumery compounds, especially in creating lily, hyacinth, and other floral scent accords. Its structural features allow for stability in various pH environments, making it suitable for use in soaps, detergents, and fine fragrances. Also investigated for potential bioactive properties in research settings, particularly in studies exploring antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
