Spathulenol is primarily used in the fragrance and flavor industry due to its woody, earthy aroma. It serves as a natural additive in perfumes, cosmetics, and essential oil blends for its pleasant scent and stability. In aromatherapy, it is valued for its potential calming and anti-inflammatory effects when used in diffusers or topical formulations. Research also explores its biological activity, including antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, making it a candidate for use in natural preservatives and skincare products. Additionally, spathulenol is studied for its potential role in plant defense mechanisms, which could lead to applications in agricultural formulations as a bioactive compound.
