The title ketone finds considerable use in perfume compositions for soap, detergent and cosmetic preparations where its stability in finished compounds is greatly appreciated. For novel and sophisticated 'Mimosa' or 'Nectar' fragrance bases, it offers unique notes, unobtainable with any other chemical. As part of the warm notes in Chypre or modern Citrus colognes, New Mown Hay and Oriental bases, it gives the perfumer a wide variety of applications.
