Tricyclene is primarily used in the fragrance and flavor industry due to its fresh, woody, and camphor-like aroma. It is often incorporated into perfumes, colognes, and air fresheners to add a natural, earthy scent. Additionally, it serves as a key component in the synthesis of other aroma chemicals and terpenes, enhancing the complexity of fragrance formulations. In some cases, it is also explored for its potential in organic synthesis and as a starting material for producing derivatives with specific aromatic properties.
