3-Phenyl-1-propanol is a fragrance ingredient used in many compounds. It may be found in fragrances used in decorative cosmetics, fine fragrances, shampoos, toilet soaps and other toiletries as well as in non-cosmetic products such as household cleaners and detergents. It is a colorless slightly oily liquid, possessing a warm and mild, balsamic-floral, sweet odor of moderate tenacity. This material has been reported to occur in nature, with highest quantities observed in Guava and Feyoa. The worldwide volume of use for 3-phenyl-1-propanol is in the region of 100–1000 metric tons per year. 3-Phenyl-1-propanol was used to study the hydrogenation of trans-cinnamaldehyde using water-soluble organometallic complexes. It was used as starting reagent during the enantioselective synthesis of (S)- and (R)-dapoxetine.

Sclareolide is a sesquiterpene lactone natural product derived from various plant sources including Salvia sclarea, Salvia yosgadensis, and cigar tobacco.
