  • Applications

    Furanogermenone (CAS 81678-18-4) is typically used as an odorant and fragrance intermediate in real-world applications. In perfumery, it serves as a building block for aroma formulations and can contribute to signature notes. In cosmetics and personal care, it may be evaluated for inclusion as a fragrance component in scented products. In household products such as cleaners and air fresheners, it may be used to impart or enhance fragrance profiles. In industrial manufacturing, it can function as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex fragrance chemicals and related specialty compounds, subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
