Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes, cosmetics, and scented consumer products due to its pleasant, woody, musky, and slightly sweet aroma. It serves as a fixative to stabilize and prolong the scent in formulations. Also found in household products like detergents and air fresheners for its odor-enhancing properties. Its stability and low volatility make it suitable for use in both liquid and solid fragrance systems. Additionally, it is used as a starting material in the laboratory synthesis of other fragrance compounds.
