Sandalwood

Sandalwood offers a warm, creamy, and soft woody aroma with subtle milky and slightly sweet nuances. Its scent is smooth and enveloping, creating a calming and luxurious impression. Widely used as a base note, sandalwood adds depth, longevity, and a refined, velvety character to fragrances.

Chemistry and Molecular Structure

The scent of sandalwood is mainly defined by santalol, a group of molecules responsible for its creamy, woody, and smooth character. These compounds provide warmth and longevity. In perfumery, both natural and synthetic versions are used to achieve a balanced and sustainable composition.
