  • Applications

    Nardofurane (CAS 42438-76-6) is primarily used as an odorant in fragrance applications, contributing to specific notes in perfumery. It is also employed as a fragrance component in cosmetics and personal care products, and as a fragrance additive in household products such as air fresheners and cleaners. In industrial manufacturing, it may serve as a specialty fragrance ingredient or intermediate in the synthesis of other aroma compounds.
