Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented products. It contributes a warm, musky, and slightly sweet aroma, making it valuable in creating long-lasting base notes in fine fragrances, soaps, detergents, and cosmetics. Its cyclic ketone structure provides stability and enhances scent retention in formulations. Also employed in flavor compositions for non-edible applications due to its low volatility and pleasant odor profile.
