Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented consumer products. It imparts a sweet, floral, slightly spicy aroma with balsamic undertones, making it valuable in fine fragrances, soaps, detergents, and cosmetics. Its stability under various pH conditions and low volatility allow for long-lasting scent performance in both rinse-off and leave-on formulations. Also employed as a modifier in flavor compositions to enhance fruity or berry-like notes, though in very limited concentrations due to its potency.
