Used in the fragrance industry for its fresh, herbal, and slightly citrusy aroma. It serves as a key ingredient in perfumes, soaps, and cosmetic products to enhance scent profiles with top to middle notes. Also found in household cleaning products and air fresheners for its pleasant volatile character. Shows potential as a flavor modifier in trace amounts for food-grade formulations due to its terpene-like structure. Occasionally used in research settings as a chiral building block for synthesizing oxygen-containing heterocycles.
