Used in fragrance formulations to impart musky, animalic, and pheromone-like notes, enhancing the depth and sensuality of perfumes. It is particularly valued in small quantities for adding warmth and complexity to both masculine and feminine scents. Also studied for its potential role in human behavioral and social signaling due to its presence in human sweat and saliva. In some cases, it is used in research related to olfactory responses and attraction. Not typically used in high concentrations due to its strong, sometimes unpleasant odor perceived differently among individuals.
