  • Applications

    Amber furan (CAS 68611-23-4) is used primarily as an aroma chemical in perfumery and flavors, delivering a characteristic amber note and often serving as a fragrance ingredient and/or a fixative in formulations. It is commonly employed as a fragrance component in perfumes and personal care products, and may be considered for limited use as a flavor ingredient in food formulations. In household and cleaning products, it can contribute to scent profiles. In industrial contexts, it may act as an intermediate or building block for the synthesis of other fragrance compounds. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
