Since it is the major component of Ginger oil, and the "oxygenated" components of that oil have been found to be rather common and available materials, there could be a future interest in the subject material for reconstitution of Ginger oil if and when it becomes scarce. Furthermore, it has potential interest to the perfumer in its warm-balsamic, almost "Oriental" character, which may remind an observer of Opopanax or Bisabolene.
