Used in fragrance formulations for perfumes, cosmetics, and scented consumer products due to its fruity, floral, and slightly sweet odor profile. It acts as a fragrance additive to enhance or stabilize scent in soaps, detergents, lotions, and air fresheners. Its ester structure contributes to good volatility and odor lift, making it suitable for top to middle notes in perfume compositions. Also employed in flavoring applications where a fruity nuance is desired, though use in food is typically limited and subject to regulatory approval.
