  • Applications

    alpha-Amylcinnamyl formate is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery, delivering cinnamon-like notes and functioning as an odorant with potential fixative properties in fragrance formulations. It is commonly evaluated for use in cosmetics and personal care to impart a warm aroma, and in household products such as air fresheners and scented cleaners to contribute fragrance. The compound may be used as a fragrance additive in coatings and inks to impart aroma, and appears in industrial manufacturing contexts as an odorant in formulated products, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
