Used primarily in the fragrance industry due to its pleasant, earthy, and slightly floral aroma. It serves as a key ingredient in perfumes, soaps, and cosmetic products where a long-lasting scent is desired. Its molecular structure allows for good stability in various pH environments, making it suitable for use in both alkaline and acidic formulations. Also found in some insect repellent formulations due to its ability to mask human scent, reducing attractiveness to biting insects. Limited use in pharmaceutical research for its potential antioxidant properties, though not yet developed into commercial drug products.
