Mysore sandalwood

Mysore sandalwood is prized for its rich, creamy, and velvety aroma with soft woody and slightly sweet undertones. It brings warmth, depth, and long-lasting smoothness to fragrances. Its luxurious and calming character makes it a cornerstone of many classic and modern compositions.

Chemistry and Molecular Structure

The characteristic scent of Mysore sandalwood comes mainly from santalol molecules, especially alpha- and beta-santalol. These compounds provide its creamy, soft, and long-lasting woody profile. Their stability and smooth diffusion make sandalwood essential for creating depth, fixation, and harmony in fragrance formulations.
