Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented products due to its musky, earthy, and slightly floral odor profile. It serves as a building block in the synthesis of more complex aroma compounds, especially in creating sandalwood-like scent accords. Its chemical structure allows for functionalization, making it valuable in developing custom fragrance molecules. Also investigated for use in flavoring agents where a subtle woody note is desired, though application in flavors is limited. Commonly found in soaps, detergents, cosmetics, and fine fragrances for its odor stability and blending properties.
