Used in the fragrance industry for its woody, earthy aroma, this compound contributes to the formulation of perfumes, colognes, and scented consumer products. Its enantiomeric purity enhances olfactory specificity, making it valuable in creating natural-identical scents for cosmetics, soaps, and fine fragrances. It may also serve as a chiral building block in the synthesis of more complex aroma chemicals or biologically active molecules.
