Used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics due to its pleasant, sweet, floral-woody aroma with balsamic nuances. It contributes to the scent of lilac, hyacinth, and other floral compositions. Also serves as a flavoring agent in food products for its mild, sweet, and slightly spicy character. In addition, it acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its reactive allyl and methoxy functional groups. Furthermore, studies have explored its biological activities, such as antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, which may lead to applications as an active ingredient in health care products or functional cosmetics.
