Used in the fragrance industry for its fresh, woody, and slightly citrusy aroma, contributing to perfumes, soaps, and scented cosmetics. Acts as a chiral building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its structural specificity makes it valuable in asymmetric synthesis and catalysis research. Also explored as a flavor modifier in specialty food applications due to its natural origin and sensory profile.
