Piperitol is primarily used in the fragrance and flavor industry due to its aromatic properties. It contributes to the development of natural and synthetic perfumes, often enhancing floral and woody notes. Its structure allows it to act as a building block in the synthesis of more complex aroma compounds. Additionally, piperitol has been explored for its potential biological activities, including antioxidant and antimicrobial effects, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. It may also serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis for bioactive molecules.
