Description
Santalol is a natural sesquiterpene alcohol primarily found in sandalwood oil, and is the main contributor to the characteristic warm, sweet, and woody fragrance of sandalwood. It is widely used in perfumes, cosmetic fragrances, personal care products, and essential oil blends as a high‑end woody base note and fixative. Santalol’s aromatic profile also makes it valuable in aromatherapy and relaxation formulations.
