  • Applications

    3-Benzylidenebornan-2-one (CAS 15087-24-8) is primarily used in perfumery as an odorant and fixative, helping shape fragrance longevity and profile in formulations; it is also encountered as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products. In household products such as air fresheners and detergents, it can serve as a scent additive to stabilize and sharpen fragrance notes. In industrial manufacturing, it may be used as an intermediate or building block in organic synthesis for specialty chemicals, and in coatings and plastics as a fragrance-related additive or precursor to odor-active materials. Its use is governed by local regulations and formulation limits.
