This ester has found a little use in perfume compositions, but it has not nearly achieved the position of importance as e.g. Linalyl acetate. It is generally considered weaker, but it is also more floral, and less fruity than Linalyl acetate. Its main use is that of being a modifier in Muguet, a minor ingredient in Bergamot, Lavandin, Lavender, Fougére, etc. It blends very well with Labdanum, Amyl-salicylate, the 'rose alcohols' etc. for general creative perfumery.
