It serves as a masking agent to neutralize unpleasant odors in various consumer products. Due to its pleasant scent and natural origin, it is favored in aromatherapy and essential oil blends for its calming and uplifting properties. It also exhibits insect-repellent activity, making it useful in natural mosquito repellents and outdoor care products.
