Styracitol is primarily used in the fragrance, flavor, and personal care industries due to its pleasant balsamic, vanilla-like, woody, and resinous aroma. It serves as a natural additive in perfumery, contributing to the formulation of oriental, powdery, and sweet scented perfumes. Its fixative properties and slow evaporation rate help prolong the scent's longevity on the skin and in products. In flavoring applications, it is used in small quantities to impart warm, sweet notes in food and beverage products, especially desserts and confectionery. It is also incorporated in body care products such as soaps, creams, and scented candles. Additionally, it has been explored in traditional medicine for its potential soothing and anti-inflammatory effects, though such uses are limited and largely anecdotal.
