Used in the fragrance industry as a flavor and aroma compound, particularly in creating fruity and floral scent profiles. Its aromatic aldehyde structure contributes to sweet, green, and slightly spicy notes, making it valuable in perfumery for enhancing complexity and stability. Also serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the production of specialty chemicals and fine fragrances. Due to its substituted benzene ring, it offers enhanced steric stability, which can improve the longevity of scents in consumer products like soaps, detergents, and cosmetics.
