Used in perfumery for its woody, amber-like aroma, alpha-Cyperone contributes to the fragrance of soaps, cosmetics, and perfumes. It is valued for enhancing scent longevity and adding depth to fragrance compositions. Due to its natural origin and pleasant odor, it is often included in essential oil blends, particularly those mimicking sandalwood or patchouli notes. Additionally, it has shown interest in research for potential biological activities, including anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects, though such uses remain primarily in experimental stages.
