    Germacra-1(10)E,5E-dien-4-ol is a natural-origin sesquiterpene alcohol, commonly used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery. In cosmetics and personal care, it can be used as a fragrance component and, in some formulations, as a fragrance fixative. It may also be applied in household cleaning products to provide a pleasant aroma. In coatings and inks, it can serve as a fragrance additive to impart scent to final products. In industrial manufacturing, this compound may function as an intermediate in the synthesis of other terpenes or as a source of aroma for related fragrance compounds.
