Used in the fragrance industry for its musky, lactonic aroma, enhancing perfumes and scented products with long-lasting scent profiles. Commonly found in fine fragrances, soaps, and cosmetics due to its stability and ability to blend well with floral and woody notes. Also serves as a flavoring agent in food and beverage applications where a creamy, sweet nuance is desired. Its low volatility contributes to extended scent retention in consumer products.
