  • Applications

    Eugenone (CAS 480-27-3) is primarily used as a fragrance intermediate and odorant in perfumery, where it serves as a building block for aroma compounds and as a scent component in formulations. It may also be employed in cosmetics and personal care products as a fragrance ingredient. In household products, it can function as a fragrance additive to impart or enhance aroma. In industrial manufacturing, it is often treated as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of aroma-related compounds and related materials. Additionally, it may find use as an aroma-related additive or precursor in polymers, coatings, and inks where odor characteristics are relevant. The actual use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
