Widely used in the fragrance industry for its sweet, creamy, and slightly fruity odor with balsamic undertones. It is commonly found in perfumes, soaps, detergents, and cosmetic products to enhance and prolong scent. Its stability under alkaline conditions makes it suitable for use in laundry products and bar soaps. Often used as a fixative to help other volatile fragrance components last longer on the skin. Also used in flavoring applications in trace amounts due to its creamy, coconut-like character, particularly in dairy and tropical fruit flavor formulations.
