Methyl 3-phenylprop-2-enoate, commonly known as methyl cinnamate, is widely used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics, imparting sweet, floral, and balsamic notes. It may also serve as a flavor/aroma compound in food and beverage formulations where permitted, contributing fruity or berry-like character. The compound often functions as an intermediate in organic synthesis to prepare cinnamate-based derivatives. In household products, coatings, and inks, it can be used to augment or stabilize fragrance profiles. It is also used as a fragrance ingredient in personal care products and may appear as a flavor-related additive in certain formulations, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
