Sandalore® (Givaudan)

A truly powerful and diffusive sandalwood character is the hallmark of this classic woody material. Its profile is distinctly warm and sweet, evoking the richness of natural sandalwood with notable creamy, waxy, and even slightly greasy facets that add complexity. Subtle undertones of cedarwood provide a dry, structural element to its otherwise smooth texture. The extreme tenacity of Sandalore® ensures its presence from the heart through the deep dry-down, providing exceptional volume and substantivity to a fragrance, making it a foundational element for a lasting impression.

Within a composition, this ingredient serves as an excellent and reliable alternative to the natural oil, especially when seeking a bold and consistent sandalwood effect. For creating a more complex and multifaceted sandalwood accord, Sandalore® works in perfect synergy with Ebanol, where its rich warmth beautifully complements Ebanol's creamy, musky elegance. It also expertly anchors floral and oriental fragrances, providing a solid, warm foundation that enhances other raw materials without overpowering them. Recommended usage levels can range from under 1% to add a subtle warmth, up to 5% or more in the concentrate for a prominent and dominant sandalwood theme.
