Polysantol® (Firmenich)

An intensely powerful and diffusive woody character defines this key sandalwood ingredient. The scent of Polysantol® is remarkably linear and substantive, delivering a consistent and rich sandalwood impression from top to bottom. Its profile is distinctly creamy and warm, a quality that is elegantly nuanced by subtle herbal and tropical facets. This combination adds a sophisticated complexity and a natural feeling to the classic woody theme, making it an indispensable element for creating modern and impactful sandalwood accords.

Valued for its exceptional performance, this material provides significant lift and volume to fragrance compositions across all categories, from fine perfumery to fabric and hair care. As a potent booster, Polysantol® enhances and extends the effect of natural sandalwood oil while also complementing other synthetic woody molecules. Recommended usage levels can range from a subtle 0.1% to a more dominant 5% in the concentrate. It harmonizes beautifully with floral, spicy, and ambery accords, anchoring them with a lasting and elegant foundation.
