Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented products due to its warm, woody, and slightly floral aroma with nuances of sandalwood. It serves as a key component in creating natural-smelling fragrances for cosmetics, soaps, detergents, and personal care products. Its stability under various pH conditions and compatibility with other fragrance ingredients make it suitable for use in both synthetic and nature-identical scent formulations. Also explored in flavor applications for non-food consumer products where a nuanced, earthy note is desired.
