Used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and scented consumer products due to its musky, lactonic odor profile. It contributes creamy, coconut-like, and slightly fatty notes, making it valuable in creating complex floral, powdery, and sweet fragrances. Commonly found in fine perfumes, soaps, detergents, and cosmetics to enhance scent longevity and add richness. Its macrocyclic structure provides stability and a natural diffusion, allowing for sustained olfactory impact at low usage levels.
