Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented products, this compound contributes a fruity, floral, and slightly balsamic odor profile. It is valued for enhancing the longevity and richness of fragrance compositions in fine fragrances, cosmetics, and personal care items. Its ester structure provides a stable, pleasant scent that blends well with floral, fruity, and oriental accords. Also found in some flavor formulations where a subtle fruity note is desired, though its use in flavors is limited compared to its application in fragrances.
