  • Applications

    Methylcyclopentadecenone (CAS 82356-51-2) is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery, providing musk-like base notes and often acting as a fixative to extend aroma. It is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other fragrance compounds. In cosmetics and personal care, it may be formulated into scented products such as creams, lotions, and bath products. In household products, it contributes as a fragrance additive in detergents, fabric conditioners, and air fresheners. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as a building block for fragrance development and scent-release formulations, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
