Odor description: sandalwood, creamy, warm, milky, soft

A modern sandalwood molecule with a creamy, milky character and a distinct woody edge. It carries all the softness of natural sandalwood, while being significantly more diffusive and long-lasting. One of the more versatile woody ingredients – it works in every layer of a composition: top, heart, and base.

In formulas, it provides smooth, rounded body, bridges the heart with the base, and adds depth to the fragrance without weighing it down. Works equally well as a support for natural sandalwood (adding projection and longer dry-down) or as a standalone element of a woody base. Fits beautifully into woody, amber, creamy floral, and even gourmand compositions – wherever creamy, woody smoothness is needed. Blends excellently with cedar, Iso E Super, musks, and amber bases.
