Used primarily as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics, this compound imparts a fresh, green, floral scent with fruity nuances. It is commonly found in floral and fruity fragrance compositions, enhancing top notes with a vibrant, natural character. Frequently used in soaps, detergents, lotions, and fine fragrances to add a crisp, leafy aroma reminiscent of lily-of-the-valley or geranium. Also employed in flavorings for food products to contribute a subtle fruity, pear-like note. Its natural occurrence in some plants makes it suitable for use in natural-identical flavor and fragrance applications.
