It is used to give fragrances lingering fatty notes. One of the classic members of the aldehyde family, this product is widely used in all types of perfumery. Its versatile nature makes it suitable for various fragrances: cologne, violet, pine, chypre. It is fixed with anisolic alcohol, benzyl isoeugenol, and benzoin. A sweet, waxy-grassy scent, very fresh and purely floral (when diluted, it is reminiscent of lily and violet) with a slight balsamic nuance. This scent is often described as "fresh linen," but is only pleasant in very high concentrations. Concentrated material has a rather fatty and waxy odor.

It polymerizes easily and hardens, but can depolymerize when heated. However, when subjected to intense heating and cooling, the material deteriorates and must be stored at constant room temperature.

It is one of the most widely used aliphatic aldehydes in perfumery. Its versatility is probably its greatest strength: from pine to violet, from detergent fragrances to luxurious lotions, it is present in a wide range of perfumes: pine, coniferous, floral, "modern," complex citrus, chypre, etc.

The aldehyde is also used in food flavorings to mimic butter, banana, caramel, honey, lemon, lime, orange, and mandarin, as well as in floral arrangements using Neroli and various fruity compositions. The concentration of this aldehyde in the final consumer product is typically between 1 and 3 parts per million, but in chewing gum it can reach 100 parts per million.
