Used primarily as a flavor and fragrance ingredient, this compound contributes a fresh, floral, and slightly sweet aroma. It is commonly found in perfumery for soaps, detergents, and cosmetics due to its pleasant scent and stability. In the flavor industry, it is used in small quantities to impart a fruity, aldehydic note to food products and beverages. Its structural features make it a useful intermediate in the synthesis of more complex aromatic molecules, particularly in the development of specialty chemicals and agrochemicals.
