Applications
Benzoic acid, 2-methylene-3-butenyl ester (prenyl benzoate) is used primarily as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in perfumery, helping to impart or stabilize woody and resinous notes and to extend scent life in formulations. It also appears in cosmetic and personal care products as a fragrance component. In household products such as air fresheners and cleaners, it serves as a fragrance additive. Additionally, it functions as a chemical intermediate in fragrance synthesis and related aroma chemistry, and may be used as a fragrance additive in coatings or inks. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
