  • Applications

    Basilol (CAS 942591-86-8) is typically used as an odorant and fragrance ingredient in perfumery, often evaluated as an intermediate in fragrance synthesis. It may also find applications in cosmetics and personal care as a fragrance component, and in household products to impart a distinctive aroma. In industrial manufacturing, Basilol can serve as a fragrance additive in coatings, inks, and polymer/plastic formulations, where odor formulation and scent consistency are relevant. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
