  • Applications

    Bourgeonal is primarily used as an odorant in perfumery, imparting a hyacinth-like floral note; it is also employed as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics and personal care products, and may be added to household cleaning formulations to contribute fragrance; it is also viewed as an intermediate in the synthesis of other fragrance materials and may be evaluated for flavor applications under appropriate regulatory and formulation limits.
