Pendulone is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented consumer products. Its sweet, floral, and slightly fruity aroma makes it valuable in creating complex fragrance blends for fine perfumes, soaps, detergents, and cosmetics. It is appreciated for its ability to enhance and prolong the scent profile, acting as a mid-to-base note in formulations. Due to its stability and low volatility, it contributes to the longevity of the fragrance on skin and fabrics. Pendulone is also used in household air fresheners and personal care products where a soft, pleasant scent is desired.
