  • Applications

    This chiral polycyclic alcohol is used primarily in perfumery, where it provides dry, warm, clean woody–amber facets and functions as a fixative/booster to enhance diffusion and longevity in woody, amber, and fougère accords; it is suitable for fine fragrances, body mists, deodorants, shampoos, shower gels, soaps, fabric softeners, household cleaners, candles, and air care due to good thermal/oxidative stability and textile substantivity; it blends well with notes such as Iso E Super, Ambroxan, cedarwood, sandalwood, patchouli, and labdanum to add depth and cleanliness; it also serves as a synthetic intermediate for preparing esters/carbamates/carbonates or for selective oxidation to carbonyl derivatives to fine‑tune odor character and volatility; additionally, it is used as a reference/standard in analytical work and fragrance R&D; applications should be validated for matrix compatibility, dosage, and compliance with safety regulations, including current IFRA guidance.
